This change looks justified, from the table at

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8#Description

Okay, so byte #1 consumes the most significant 4 bits

Byte #2 is supposed to consume 6 more bits:

    1234 56
00001111 11000000  binary
0   f    c   0     hex -> mask is okay

Indeed the shift count should be 6.

Byte #1 is supposed to consume the 5 most significant bits, from the 11
bits that the code point has:

00000111 11111111 -- bin
0   7    f   f    -- hex -- all it can have

     123 45
00000111 11000000 -- bin
0   7    c   0    -- hex -- mask is okay

Shift count of 6 looks okay.


>> +			dest[j++] = 0x80 | (c & 0x03f);

Byte #2 is supposed to consume the remaining 6 bits:

           123456
00000000 00111111 -- bin
0   0    3   f    -- hex - mask is okay

Maybe if we could write the mask as 0x3f, instead of 0x03f.
