Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
.Nm ENCODING
|
|
.Qq UTF-8
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm UTF-8
|
|
encoding represents UCS-4 characters as a sequence of octets, using
|
|
between 1 and 6 for each character.
|
|
It is backwards compatible with
|
|
.Tn ASCII ,
|
|
so 0x00-0x7f refer to the
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
character set.
|
|
The multibyte encoding of
|
|
.No non- Ns Tn ASCII
|
|
characters
|
|
consist entirely of bytes whose high order bit is set.
|
|
The actual
|
|
encoding is represented by the following table:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
[0x00000000 - 0x0000007f] [00000000.0bbbbbbb] -> 0bbbbbbb
|
|
[0x00000080 - 0x000007ff] [00000bbb.bbbbbbbb] -> 110bbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
[0x00000800 - 0x0000ffff] [bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
|
|
1110bbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
[0x00010000 - 0x001fffff] [00000000.000bbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
|
|
11110bbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
[0x00200000 - 0x03ffffff] [000000bb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
|
|
111110bb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
|
|
[0x04000000 - 0x7fffffff] [0bbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
|
|
1111110b, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 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.
|
|
Longer ones are detected as an error as they pose a potential
|
|
security risk, and destroy the 1:1 character:octet sequence mapping.
