Originating Question

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

This is pretty much the reverse of what I have asked for: reverse engineering an UTF-8 string in order to re-create the sourcecode I have asked for. You shouldn't have to reverse engineer. What I have asked for is the whole intention of open-source software and the crux of which all programming relies on; writing sourcecode in UTF-8 would mean nothing. It is actually a praxis required in the whole picture of computer science. If you do not have sourcecode for UTF-8 then it is more than likely the standard does sit on the sidelines disconnected from whatever is being called Unicode and UTF-8 actually software in use. You shouldn't have to reverse engineer the software to contrast it against the Unicode standard it purports to have been.
