It uses modified UTF-8, modified in three ways:
1) U+0000 is encoded in two bytes as 0xc0 0x80;
2) values above U+FFFF are encoded in six bytes as the UTF-8 encoding
of their UTF-16 equivalent form;
3) the whole string is prefixed with a byte count represented
as a 2-byte big-endian binary integer.
