in thread What is the difference between sending bytes and characters over sockets?

But essentially: bytes eq characters.

Except when they don't (like in many non-ASCII character sets). You can't even be sure that UTF8 will actually be one byte per character (because there is an escape code in it for multibyte encoding).

: () { :|:& };:
