Currently it uses UTF-8 internally but I would say it’s an implementation detail (1.x used UTF-16 for better compatibility with NSString and friends).
IMHO the tool should be updated to output warnings/errors as line:column and not byte offset.
I can file an enhancement request for the tool and see what they say.
If they won’t support this, we could add support to `mate` but I would prefer to keep it as an extension of the current `-l/--line` syntax, e.g. `--line +42` to indicate a byte offset of 42.
