If you are writing a C program, then the null character can be used to indicate the end of a string.
One of the nice things about UTF-8 is that the ASCII bytes from 0 to 7F hex (including the C0 control characters from \x00 through \x01f---including NULL) represent the ASCII characters from 0 to 7F hex. That is, amoung other things UTF-8 was designed specifically to be compatible with C language strings. Addison Addison P.
