Okay, so that begs the question, if there is no difference between UTF8 and
ASCII, why make the distinction? I mean, what would be the point to converting
from ASCII to UTF8 or vis versa if the results were always the same?
Just being practical.

I have a saying: You know exactly as much after you say Maybe... as you did

Good stuff - I think I'll be able to distinguish most files using those.

I always wonder about the word 'Maybe' and whether it might be almost
semantically empty . . . :)

Hi Bob,
UTF8 is platform independent, ASCII isn't.

I have an app that needs to auto-detect Unicode and plain text, and
render them correctly based on that auto-detection.
I have the UTF16 stuff working, but with UTF8 I have a problem: there
is no BOM to let me know if it's Unicode, and some plain text files will
occasionally have high-ASCII

Below is a function that was translated from a PHP script. It is intended to
determine whether the passed in string could be utf8. I have tested it in a
limited way and it seems to work. But maybe someone else can see the flaws.
If it returns false, then it is not UTF8. If it returns
