Re^11: Mugged by UTF8, this CANNOT be right

There are no encodings embodied in the Unicode standard. At least that's what I was told, and I don't see any myself. Feel free to point out where.

See section 3.9 in this PDF. This is a draft of Unicode 6.0, but this section has been in the Unicode standard for some time.

If you're such an expert, why not just point out that UTF means Unicode Transformation Format and have that as the coup d'grace. Hmmm???	[reply]

I wouldn't say I'm an expert at anything other than Reading Nodes. :-) As far as Unicode, UTF-whatever and other text encoding schemes are concerned, I'm probably more confused than anyone. Over the years, I've read a lot of standards, though (professional hazard), and I at least think I know how to interpret what I've read. I know, DFTT. To paraphrase one of my favorite monks, I Go Back to Reading, Now.	[reply]
