Possibly relevant, definitely entertaining, Rob Pike's account of UTF-8's gestation [1] Yeah. Elegant design.

I'm not sure what you mean here: there are two layers at work (at least if you have UTF-8 encoded Unicode). As Henrique says, if you assume both to be "correct" then you get more illegal things. But sometimes UTF-8 encoding is used for other things (notably Emacs encodes a superset of Unicode, to be able to express "raw byte values" next to "Unicode characters". > > The problem is that I copy snippets of text from all kinds of sources into > > those text files (which are formatted like mbox files), so I might find one or > > both of those bytes in the file already. > > Then it isn't a valid unicode text file in UTF-8 format, and it needs to > be converted (or fixed) first to be encoded in UTF-8 :-) Agreed: if you don't know what's coming in, you better plan for anything :) Cheers - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlrCeTcACgkQBcgs9XrR2kbRtgCfaRHoodlkFFt8Gm0Oq438ymvg 0oMAn2NkpsqMJ3Tcy5BvAJIpTvfG8mdj =iVqF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
