// Hi. This file is now in utf-8. Thank you very much.
// Quick rundown on Maltese Unicode: 
// --------------------------------- 
// ċ = U+010B   Ċ = U+010A  'ch'    
// ġ = U+0121   Ġ = U+0120  soft G
// ħ = U+0127   Ħ = U+0126  voiced H [or 2nd letter of 'silent' għ]
// ż = U+017c   Ż = U+017B  'dz'
//
// COMBINING MARKS:
// There is no combining mark for the slash (h/)
//  but, U+0307 is the DOT ABOVE needed for ż, ċ, and ġ (in collation rules)
