  Do you then mean that you have a sequence of Unicode code points that
you want to convert to UTF-8?  In that case, the C code by Oren is what
you need (for a single code point).

You shouldn't have to reverse engineer the software to contrast it against the Unicode standard it purports to have been. 

  It sounds like you’re confusing a standard and its implementation.

  If you’re going to keep repeating that, you should be aware that it is
incomprehensible, even without the typo and the weird wording.
