When we talk about utf-8 and zsh, what is the relevance of that?  I mean 
what/when/where is zsh concerned with character encoding?  Filenames I 
guess, and inside strings too, perhaps? Not in zsh syntax itself I 
presume.  I guess that any data stream would/could be utf-8erized. 
Anywhere else?  Or is this something where I'm not even asking the right 
question?
