65 (letter A) in hex 0x41 the utf-7 unicode utf-7 look like this then 0041
for letter A
if the was utf-8 it hav been only hex 0x41 for letter A UTF-8 does have 8 to
32bits range
Windows are using utf-7 that why I think the regsiter are being writen in
utf-7 hex
As far as I know UTF-7 is very similar to UTF-8, using only 7 bits per
byte instead of 8, or something similar, it's meant for compatibility
with systems that don't like use of the full 8 bits. UTF-16 is a 16bit
encoding. I don't know whether Windows NT's wide characters are meant to
be UTF-16 or UCS-2 (also 16bit, but without the ability to encode
characters that need more than 16bits to encode), but my guess it uses
one of those.
