Formfeed is 0x0c

UTF-8 formfeed is U+000C (though prohibited by draft-hoffman as per
Section 2.2; let's assume it's allowed).

It appears that Wordpad doesn't recognize U+000C as a page break.

That's a Unix-ism, but yes - I can do that on Windows:

0000000 377 376   a  \0   b  \0   c  \0  \r  \0  \n  \0 022  \0  \r  \0
        65279    97    98    99    13    10    18    13
0000020  \n  \0   d  \0   e  \0   f  \0  \r  \0  \n  \0
           10   100   101   102    13    10
0000034

Is that correct UTF-8 for what I typed?
