As in a previous comment /info/en/?search=Talk:UTF-8/Archive_1#Colour_in_example_table? this has been done before, and is *better* so that everyone can clearly see the different part of the code. Relying on color alone is not good, due to color vision deficiencies and varying color rendition on devices.

I think this section should be rewritten. It makes no sense to talk about bytes if you have triplets of octal numbers which make 9 bits in total, not 8. The grouping shown in the section is ambiguous (and wrong). -- 84.167.187.209 ( talk) 02:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

I do agree there is a huge amount of bloat in this article, conversion from/to UTF-8 is actually really simple and I would love to see the majority of this text spew deleted. Spitzak ( talk) 20:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Unfortunately there is an error in it. If first code point is 0200 then last code point can not be 3777, for example. Please consider description in main article of how Encoding process works, then you find that first Unicode code point is always 0 . Apparently that is how it is really done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SiwardDeGroot ( talk • contribs) 14:48, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
@ Comp.arch: With respect to Special:Diff/1105781113, it's better to use just "ASCII" unless it could be misinterpreted as some other variant of ISO 646 instead of ANSI X3.4-1986. It is not the case here, but I think current usage in the article is okay. IANA preference for "US-ASCII" only matters for use in the charset parameter or similar where "ASCII" is not even a valid label at all. Please don't link it halfway as US- ASCII because that makes absolutely no sense in any context and looks like a formatting mistake. Link the whole US-ASCII, piping it if you don't like the redirect. – MwGamera ( talk) 12:49, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
I would've fixed it myself but I don't know how to transform the remaining sentence to make sense. 2A01:C23:8D8D:BF00:C070:85C1:B1B8:4094 ( talk) 16:17, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
