I meant code point.

Get is the code point.

And what I claimed is that having code point = code unit only half-way solves the problem and you get the least favorite and advantageous encoding in DString/Utf32.

The index of Utf code-point can be easily solved with a string walker that can work for any encoding, from utf8 to 32 and there is no need to tie yourself down with DString supremacy.

Because once you reach "full" Unicode support with DString, you know that most of the non-opaque string code in U++ will use the DString implementation and everything will be biased towards 32 bit.
