Originating concise yet full though simple one line relevent ontopic question:
Where to get the sourcecode of relevent (version) UTF-8?: in order to checksum text against the specific encoding map (codepage).
I have already asked and stated what I need absolutely perfectly. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to dumb it down or say it in a not so perfect way that ye will grasp better.
Sourcecode does not need to be a launguage like C for a compiler like GCC. Sourcecode is source code. It is the code of the source whatever it may be. In this query was asked of UTF-8
Then I had unrolled this into "bytecode to glyph map" no problem all perfect an absolutely perfect question. I don't reckon there is any way to dumb it down without it not being this question.
To help you guys out maybe you just need to learn english I have posted An Advanced English Grammar on my GitHub here https://github.com/freedom-foundation/An_Advanced_English_Grammar
Let me import from the consortium glossary. This is the only term which I had not used but is synonymous with my having said "unicode" because this is the code defined by the standard the term for the bytecode which does hold the integer is "unicode" the kind of code in those bytes is unicode. If ye had spoken English well enough this should go without saying. Therefore a codepoint is essence of "unicode" (bytecode). Now the following are from the consortium and not my own definitions.
Code Point. (1) Any value in the Unicode codespace; that is, the range of integers from 0 to 10FFFF16. (See definition D10 in Section 3.4, Characters and Encoding.) Not all code points are assigned to encoded characters. See code point type. (2) A value, or position, for a character, in any coded character set.
Character. (1) The smallest component of written language that has semantic value; refers to the abstract meaning and/or shape, rather than a specific shape (see also glyph), though in code tables some form of visual representation is essential for the reader’s understanding. (2) Synonym for abstract character. (3) The basic unit of encoding for the Unicode character encoding. (4) The English name for the ideographic written elements of Chinese origin. [See ideograph (2).]
Glyph. (1) An abstract form that represents one or more glyph images. (2) A synonym for glyph image. In displaying Unicode character data, one or more glyphs may be selected to depict a particular character. These glyphs are selected by a rendering engine during composition and layout processing. (See also character.)
Unicode. (1) The standard for digital representation of the characters used in writing all of the world's languages. Unicode provides a uniform means for storing, searching, and interchanging text in any language. It is used by all modern computers and is the foundation for processing text on the Internet. Unicode is developed and maintained by the Unicode Consortium: https://www.unicode.org. (2) A label applied to software internationalization and localization standards developed and maintained by the Unicode Consortium
Now I was using Unicode Text Format which may be in use elsewhere as you see ISO makes claims on Unicode and so may have Microsoft or anybody. In the context in which I had used it this is no problem.
UTF-8. A multibyte encoding for text that represents each Unicode character with 1 to 4 bytes, and which is backward-compatible with ASCII. UTF-8 is the predominant form of Unicode in web pages. More technically: (1) The UTF-8 encoding form. (2) The UTF-8 encoding scheme. (3) “UCS Transformation Format 8,” defined in Annex D of ISO/IEC 10646:2003, technically equivalent to the definitions in the Unicode Standard.
UTF-8 Encoding Form. The Unicode encoding form that assigns each Unicode scalar value to an unsigned byte sequence of one to four bytes in length, as specified in Table 3-6, "UTF-8 Bit Distribution." (See definition D92 in Section 3.9, Unicode Encoding Forms.)
UCS. Acronym for Universal Character Set, which is specified by International Standard ISO/IEC 10646, which is equivalent in repertoire to the Unicode Standard.
No problems here on my side.
