UTF8 Encoding?

It's almost certainly because whatever you're using to save the file is also including the byte order mark which in UTF-8 is 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF.

It's almost certainly because whatever you're using to save the file is also including the byte order mark which in UTF-8 is 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF. As for what UTF-8 is - it's a Unicode encoding which uses progressively more bytes for higher Unicode values; importantly, ASCII characters are stored as single bytes (the same bytes as they would be in ASCII). So any ASCII file is also a UTF-8 file with the same text.

This web page has more, as does Wikipedia.

Because a BOM (byte order mark) was inserted at the start of the file. The BOM is a special character U+FEFF meant not to have any meaning except as a way to detect the encoding of a file. You can read about it here: unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM In the case of UTF-8, the BOM is encoded as \xEF \xBB \xBF which is where the 3 extra bytes come from.

Notepad and other text editors look for the BOM to guess the encoding of the file. If it sees \xFF \xFE it will assume it is UCS-2 encoded in little endian format. A \xFE \xFF means UCS-2 encoded in big endian format.

What is the BOM ,Please Explain More. – Parkhid Feb 2 at 3:09 1 How about searching for "UTF-8 BOM" with a search engine of your choice? First hit.

– Axel Gneiting Feb 2 at 3:11 BOM is a TLA for Byte Order Mark. It makes it possible to determine if the file is saved little endian or big endian. – BillThor Feb 2 at 3:28 It makes it possible to determine if a UTF-16 file is saved little endian or big endian.

UTF-8 only has one byte order. – dan04 Feb 2 at 4:40.

That's only because of the BOM, byte order mark. UTF-8 only expands characters that have a numeric value greater than 127 (non-ASCII). Not all text editors do this.

Notepad is notorious for it (the useless UTF-8 BOM).

– Parkhid Feb 2 at 3:11 yes, you can show any Unicode characters using UTF-8 – jcomeau_ictx Feb 2 at 3:13.

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.
