Because all strings pass through Java at some point it can be useful to handle them with Unicode support (since Java's internal string representation is UTF-8 encoded). In particular, screens display UTF-8 strings, meaning the related GPU functions expect UTF-8 strings. Also, keyboard input will generally be UTF-8 encoded, especially the clipboard.

However, keep in mind that only a subset of UTF-8 can actually be displayed on screens. Specifically all glyphs defined in [code page 437](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437) are supported.
