UTF-8 is based on 8-bit code units. Each character is encoded as 1 to 4 bytes.
UTF-8 uses a variable number of code units to encode a character. The collection of characters that can be encoded in UTF-8 is exactly the same as for UTF-16 or UTF-32, namely all Unicode characters. They all encode the entire Unicode coding space, which even includes noncharacters and unassigned code points.
0xC0, 0xC1, 0xF5, 0xF6, 0xF7, 0xF8, 0xF9, 0xFA, 0xFB, 0xFC, 0xFD, 0xFE, 0xFF are invalid UTF-8 code units. A UTF-8 code unit is 8 bits.
UTF-8. UTF-8 is a multibyte encoding able to encode the whole Unicode charset. An encoded character takes between 1 and 4 bytes. UTF-8 encoding supports longer byte sequences, up to 6 bytes, but the biggest code point of Unicode 6.0 (U+10FFFF) only takes 4 bytes.
If I have a byte array that contains UTF8 content, how would I go about parsing it? Are there delimiter bytes that I can split off to get each character?
