Well, first bytes can be between 0xC0 and 0xDF, with second bytes are 
from 0x80 to 0xBF.

There are also three and four byte sequences, the shorter sequences 
being supposed more frequently used characters, 0x00 to 0x7F being 
one-byte sequences, the same as 7 bit ASCII, the number of leading 1 
bits tells you the length of the sequence ...
