Kevin, I've committed the following paragraph to the Red Hat internal
sources:

    Note that these are all single-byte character sets.  More work inside
    GDB is needed to support multi-byte or variable-width character
    encodings, like the UTF-8 and UCS-2 encodings of Unicode.

Could you re-create the patch?
