Confusion between UTF-8 and Unicode

[jeanlutrin]

Lets take the Euro symbol. In Unicode, its represented:

U+20AC

Its represented in UTF-8 in memory as:
E2 82

Impossible... only chars from 0x80 to 0x7ff (included) can
be represented on two bytes in UTF-8.

Moreover the last "hex letter" in UTF-8 is always the same
as the Unicode codepoint (U+20AC). So in this example, the
last "UTF-8" byte has to end with "C".

Correct UTF-8 representation for U+20AC is :

E2 82 AC

Now I know that you just forgot to paste the "AC", but still...

It needed to be corrected


Peace,

Yea, that was it... :-0

I just opened in a hex editor, and must have misread the results....

Thanks for correcting
