Then they ought not to call it "UTF-8" or "extended" or "modified" UTF-8, or anything of the sort, even if the bit-shifting algorithm is based on UTF-8. "UTF-8 encoding form" is defined as a mapping of Unicode scalar values -- not arbitrary integers -- onto byte sequences. [D92] -- Doug Ewell | http://ewellic.org | Thornton, CO 🇺🇸
