A UTF-8 decoder should be prepared for... Carefully crafted invalid UTF-8 could make them either skip or create ASCII characters such as NUL... Invalid UTF-8 has been used to bypass security validations in high profile products including Microsoft... Many UTF-8 decoders throw an exception if a string has an error in it... more than one UTF-8 string converts to the same Unicode result... Therefore the original UTF-8 should be stored... UTF-8 may only legally be used to encode valid Unicode scalar values... and the UTF-8 encoding of them is an invalid byte sequence and should be treated as described above... data and did not alter their UTF-8 conversion when UCS... Modified UTF-8 strings will never contain any null bytes... All known Modified UTF-8 implementations also treat the surrogate pairs as in CESU... supports standard UTF-8 when reading and writing strings through... This is the UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode... and is commonly referred to as a UTF-8 BOM even though it is not relevant to byte order... another encoding with a BOM is translated to UTF-8 without stripping it... The presence of the UTF-8 BOM may cause interoperability problems with existing software that could otherwise handle UTF... even if the UTF-8 file contains only ASCII and would otherwise display correctly... Programming language parsers can often handle UTF-8 in string constants and comments... be used to identify if a file is UTF-8 versus a legacy encoding... Checking if the text is valid UTF-8 is more reliable than using BOM... which makes UTF-8 work with the majority of existing APIs that take bytes strings but only treat a... it much easier to convert existing systems to UTF-8 than any other Unicode encoding... UTF-8 is the only encoding for XML entities that does not require a BOM or an... with UTF-8 as the preferred and most used encoding... UTF-8 strings can be fairly reliably recognized as such by a simple... of a random string of bytes being valid UTF-8 and not pure ASCII is 3... of UTF-8 strings as arrays of unsigned bytes will produce the same results as sorting them based... One UTF-8 advantage is that other byte... reliable way to implement this is to assume UTF-8 and switch to a legacy encoding only if several invalid UTF... UTF-8 representations and convert them to the same Unicode output... The introduction of UTF-8 gave one new active encoding on top of the locally established encoding... and UTF-8 was blamed for that in countries where there had not been any encoding troubles for... UTF-8 can encode any... so a valid UTF-8 stream never matches the UTF... UTF-8 encoded text is larger than the appropriate single... letters in UTF-8 will be double the size... directed at UTF-8 specifically and not Unicode in general... UTF-8 uses the codes 0... UTF-8 can encode any... UTF-8 does not require slower mathematical operations such as multiplication or division... UTF-8 often takes more space than an encoding made for one or a few languages... Byte streams containing invalid UTF-8 cannot be losslessly converted to UTF... ASCII characters take 1 byte in UTF-8 and 2 in UTF... will be smaller in UTF-8 due to the presence of ASCII spaces... For example both the Japanese and the Korean UTF-8 article on Wikipedia take more space if saved as UTF... the overlong UTF-8 sequence C0 80...
