xor of unicode strings

I'm not sure if this is 'fun', but it might be at least curious: I don't 
have a UTF-8 system handy to try, but I'm wondering: what happens with 
the string-xor operator on UTF-8 strings.  It obviously cannot work byte-
by-byte, but it seems like it is going to be a bit tricky figuring out 
what you get when you xor a 1 byte character with a 2-byte one [I guess 
what it would have to do to be 'correct' would be to convert the UTF to 
"real Unicode", XOR the 32-bit "characters" together, and then compress 
that resulting "character" back to UTF-8...
