John Machin <sjmac...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: @lemburg: RFC 2279 was obsoleted by RFC 3629 over 6 years ago. The standard now says 21 bits is it. F5-FF are declared to be invalid. I don't understand what you mean by "supporting those possibilities". The code is correctly issuing an error message. The goal of supporting the new resyncing and FFFD-emitting rules might be better met however by throwing away the code in the default clause and instead merely setting the entries for F5-FF in the utf8_code_length array to zero.
