> Java and C# Thrift assume that all strings should be UTF-8.  A better approach would be:
>  - Give the readString and writeString protocol methods an encoding parameter, probably defaulting to UTF-8 for compatibility and convenience.
>  - Make generated struct readers and writers pass the argument to the protocol objects for each string.
>  - Allow a type annotation to override the default UTF-8 encoding.
>  - All other languages (except Python 3) should ignore the annotation, but it will serve as documentation for the application.
