The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm ENCODING
|
|
.Qq UTF2
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm UTF2
|
|
encoding is based on a proposed X-Open multibyte
|
|
\s-1FSS-UCS-TF\s+1 (File System Safe Universal Character Set Transformation Format) encoding as used in
|
|
.Nm Plan 9 from Bell Labs.
|
|
Although it is capable of representing more than 16 bits,
|
|
the current implementation is limited to 16 bits as defined by the
|
|
Unicode Standard.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm UTF2
|
|
representation is backwards compatible with ASCII, so 0x00-0x7f refer to the
|
|
ASCII character set. The multibyte encoding of runes between 0x0080 and 0xffff
|
|
consist entirely of bytes whose high order bit is set. The actual
|
|
encoding is represented by the following table:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
[0x0000 - 0x007f] [00000000.0bbbbbbb] -> 0bbbbbbb
|
|
[0x0080 - 0x07ff] [00000bbb.bbbbbbbb] -> 110bbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
[0x0800 - 0xffff] [bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] -> 1110bbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If more than a single representation of a value exists (for example,
|
|
0x00; 0xC0 0x80; 0xE0 0x80 0x80) the shortest representation is always
|
|
used (but the longer ones will be correctly decoded).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The final three encodings provided by X-Open:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
[00000000.000bbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
|
|
11110bbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
|
|
[000000bb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
|
|
111110bb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
|
|
[0bbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
|
|
1111110b, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
