Are there delimiter bytes for UTF8 characters?

Take a look here... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 If you're looking to identify the boundary between characters, what you need is in the table in "Description". The only way to get a high bit zero is the ASCII subset 0..127, encoded in a single byte. All the non-ASCII codepoints have 2nd byte onwards with "10" in the highest two bits.

The leading byte of a codepoint never has that - it's high bits indicate the number of bytes, but there's some redundancy - you could equally watch for the next byte that doesn't have the "10" to indicate the next codepoint. 0xxxxxxx : ASCII 10xxxxxx : 2nd, 3rd or 4th byte of code 11xxxxxx : 1st byte of code, further high bits indicating number of bytes A codepoint in unicode isn't necessarily the same as a character. There are modifier codepoints (such as accents), for instance.

Bytes that have the first bit set to 0 are normal ASCII characters. Bytes that have their first bit set to 1 are part of a UTF-8 character. The first byte in every UTF-8 character has its second bit set to 1, so that the byte has the most significant bits 11.

Each following byte that belongs to the same UTF-8 character starts with 10 instead. The first byte of each UTF-8 character additionally indicates how many of the following bytes belong to the character, depending on the number of bits that are set to 1 in the most significant bits of that byte. For more details, see the Wikipedia page for UTF-8.

UTF-8 character" is a misnomer. You seem to be referring to a sequence of two to four bytes which represents a non-ASCII character. When it comes to understanding Unicode, I believe getting the vocabulary right is half the battle.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
