Originating Question

Where to get the sourcecode of relevent (version) UTF-8?: in order to checksum text against the specific encoding map (codepage).

Such as this now keep the originating question pinned at the top of each reply and let every reply focus on the originating question because as you see I was dumped on with over 5 pages of unrelated and offtopic nonsense in reply to my single line question.

I didn't post to hold a free seminar on computer science. By my grace I will expound: UTF-8 is a text format of Unicode. Unicode is a standard. In order to get anything to produce Unicode UTF-8 it must be compiled. Time is a sequence of events you have compile time and runtime. Before something is compiled it is sourcecode. Wherever the UTF-8 is input into the sourcecode it is then compiled into a runtime. As far as your gripe about my strange use of "bytecode" I have already defined it absolutely so. You may go back and re-read. 
> I don't think I'm alone in saying that your question is very unclear, in major part by your very strange use of certain terms. I don't think I've ever encountered "bytecode" outside of Java implementations, and never does it refer to textual (prose) data as you seem to do. I still don't know what "compile time UTF-8" is supposed to be, and I've read both your messages multiple times.

You are wrong about the end of the day " At the end of the day, you're always just authenticating a stream of bits." but I will not argue or correct you because it does not answer my question nor is it specific to Unicode.

No, I do not want to map. I need the bytecode/character to glyph map in the sourcecode of whatever is being used to produce UTF-8. Absolutely this must be contained in the runtime software in order for anything to produce UTF-8. Yet you have failed to ask for the information required to answer my concise yet full though simple one line relevent ontopic question.
> You want to map UTF8-encoded code points to characters? (Glyphs are the visual representations of characters, determined by the font.) In that case the "map" is the Unicode database. Each code point (encoded as one or more bytes in UTF8) maps to a character. Versions of the database are freely accessible online.

Again the question has been pinned at the top. "Where to get the sourcecode of relevent (version) UTF-8?"
> But I am still very unsure of what you're asking for. Are you concerned that code points may be reassigned in the future? That, for example, writing "Smith" in version 16 may appear as "Smite" in a future version, and this affects the apparent content of a checksummed text file? If so, that is prevented by the Unicode Stability Policy; assigned code points cannot have their character identity changed. I don't see any practical way of exploiting differences between Unicode versions to alter the apparent content of text.

The rest of Slawomir's reply was so far removed from my question "Where to get the sourcecode of relevent (version) UTF-8?" it is not worth replying.
