Notation:  Things enclosed by "" is a character on screen or in file

Before fingering: (8-bit Chinese)

"01234567"01234567"01234567"

After fingering: (Treated as 7-bit character stream, print only 7-bit as a 
character)

"0123456"7012345"6701234"567----"  - Rubbish on screen

Saved as: (But it must be saved as 8-bit per character, so ...)

"0123456-"7012345-"6701234-"567-----" - Rubbish

Use this stream: (It only send the top 7-bit, the "-" bit is thrown away, 
so the characters are merged again)

"01234567"01234567"01234567" - Original

***** This is all I GUESS, do an experiment to verify, but I suggest you 
better save your time.  :) *****
