(about ***)

Really? I'm novice about Eiffel, but I think that accessing bytes of
encoded string is worth. I can not believe it at once. So I did
google.
If you talk about UNICODE_STRING, it seems decoded from UTF-8 to code-
points array (like Wide_Wide_String).
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~odunlain/eiffel/html/base/UNICODE_STRING.html
If you talk about Eiffel.NET, it seems having byte_count and
byte_item.
