Hm, the connection encoding is UTF-16. SBCL doesn't support UTF-16. Therefore I have to convert
the UTF-16 string with babel to UTF-8 if babel does such a thing.
Sounds promising. But, if that is right, why isn't this done by default.
Is there a lisp that uses UTF-16? I will try this later, have to eat and thank you.
