Hello,
by default, CHICKEN's strings are bytestrings, not character strings.
Therefore the string-ref call is returning the first byte of the
extended character marker of UTF-8, not the character itself.
If you want CHICKEN's strings to behave as UTF-8 character strings, have
a look at the utf-8 egg.
cu,
Thomas
