does string block offsets start with 1 or 0 ? i mean string ends with empty byte so string `Hangar` will take 7 bytes with first being empty so if it is at offset 1 does that mean 1st is that empty byte or `H` ?

so it starts from 0 where 0 is empty byte and 1 is `H` 2 is `a` etc

looks right, but can't say if that generalizes or not

the "leading" empty byte isn't really leading, it's the end of the first string in the block, which is almost always empty
