Next, tell me how "magical" mkv figures out the UTF-8 unicode of a character when the source is on 8bits char, since I'm so totally wrong.

First, use a real operating system like Windows 2k or XP (NOT Win 9x/ME), type a simple SRT text file in Notepad, type whatever you want in Japanese, Russian and French, select UTF-8 output, and save it.
Second, Windows is not as retarded as some other operating systems. Converting 8bit sourses to UTF-8 needs exactly 2 calls of Windows API functions (MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte for ASCII -> UTF16 -> UTF8). I don't know how retarded e.g. Linux really is, but I do know that I don't care how it is done there...but it is possible. It must be, because MKV only allows UTF-8 encoding (which means, btw, that klingon in real klingon letters is impossible, as those are not yet included in UTF-8)
