 Hi,
 it's not an UTF-8, it's UTF-16. As we can see from this examples( main
 text are in UTF-16):
 1) word "hedgehog" - (ї)жак

 {{{
 00 BF 04 36 04 30 04 3A
 }}}


 2) word "Europa" - (Є)вропа

 {{{
 00 AA 04 32 04 40 04 3E 04 3F 04 30

 }}}

 3) word "city" - м(і)сто

 {{{
 04 3С 00 B3 04 41 04 42 04 3E

 }}}

 - that all strage displaying simbols starts from 00. It means that it will
 use main codepage to interpret them. For windows configured to use
 Cyrillic, main codepage is cp1251. So when we extracting symbols from it
 we get ї, Є and і.
