No problem. Important is just to say SciTE works
fine with many codings.

Having said this, I think there is probably some
confusion between the scintilla widget and the editor,
the application, SciTE using scintilla.

In the Python world, the ported "scintilla widget",
wxStyleTextCtrl in wxPython and QScintilla in PyQt
are working internally in utf-8 and the api's, at least
in wxPython, work with a byte arithmetic (annoying).
If I used the PyQt version, I do not remember the status
with Qt. I prefer the QPlainTextEdit widget.
