   > I do not think that we should enforce the UTF-8 encoding on the char sequence. A char is a 16-bit unsigned integer. A simpler approach would be to encode the chars as unsigned 16-bit integers.
   
   It looks like this is originally mine, so I'll chime in... the purpose of this method is not a generic string hash, but an optimization for when one wants murmur3 over UTF-8 specifically.  This level of specification is needed for systems that need well defined hashes to enable matching in different languages (typically for things like routing in distributed systems.)
