Following up on my own post, I should mention alternative ideas that I
have.

First is to include the UnicodeEncoding map with the string when 
invoking utf8show:

   /MyUnicode AdobeGlyphList makeunicode def
   MyUnicode (UTF8 String) utf8show

Second is to have a global map, akin to currentpoint:

   AdobeGlyphList makeunicode setunicode
   (UTF8 String) utf8show

Are these ideas better or worse than what I previously discussed?

Thanks,

David
