So it's even harder than it looks. This reminds me - are there good techniques for maintaining a byte offset in conjunction with character-set translations? Ideally you want the translation done in big blocks at a low level, but then how do you access the byte offsets? In RXP/LTXML I keep the offset of the start of the block (which is actually a line), and then (in the case of UTF-8) effectively reverse-translate to calculate how much to add (this relies on UTF-8 being invertible).
