whay I understood is that when I receive a new event, all chars before
offset are keept, all chars after offset are removed and replaced with
the one in "partial set of characters" so in you case if I receive "6"
with offset 3, I keep "123" and replace "456" by "6" so it's obvious
that 4 and 5 have been removed
