How UTF-8 Works

Re:How UTF-8 Works by maxdamantus on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @07:11PM (#30266720)

It happens all the time when you're working with substrings. Under your encoding, "é" would be a substring of "ჩ":

           10000011 11101001 U+E9 "é"
  10000001 10000011 11101001 U+10E9 "ჩ"

This would make it incompatible with many existing processes that already handle text, which was one of the goals of UTF-8.

it's nice seeing my native language's character: ჩ
