Both simple and mixed variants are interesting diagnostic tools.

Additionally if the charset tested can't encode the higher codepoints used in these micros the results might be misleading. If you for example test using ISO-8859-1 the UTF-16 bytes in StringDecode.decodeUTF16 will have all been replaced by `?`, so the test is effectively the same as testing ASCII-only.
