They don't appear to be utf-8 as the coding tag at the bottom claims.No, they encode (a kind of) binary data using Unicode character codes. I used that format to minimize the file sizes.
Binary data is still binary data after it has been utf-8 encoded. And wouldn't encoding it make the file size bigger, as now all bytes with values in the 128-255 range take up two bytes instead of one?
