An std::string can be constructed from a C-style string, and a C-style string can also be obtained from one. [7] The individual units making up the string are of type char, at least (and almost always) 8 bits each. In modern usage these are often not "characters", but parts of a multibyte character encoding such as UTF-8.
It ignores popular C++ idioms (the STL, RTTI, exceptions, etc), instead mostly mimicking the Java API." [19] [20] Another claim, that ICU only supports UTF-16 (and thus a reason to avoid using ICU) is no longer true with ICU now also supporting UTF-8 for C and C++. [5]
Since C11 (and C++11), a new literal prefix u8 is available that guarantees UTF-8 for a bytestring literal, as in char foo [512] = u8 "φωωβαρ";. [7] Since C++20 and C23 , a char8_t type was added that is meant to store UTF-8 characters and the types of u8 prefixed character and string literals were changed to char8_t and char8_t ...
Java reads and writes normal UTF-8 to files and streams, [61] but it uses Modified UTF-8 for object serialization, [62] [63] for the Java Native Interface, [64] and for embedding constant strings in class files. [65] The dex format defined by Dalvik also uses the same modified UTF-8 to represent string values. [66]
[8] [9] [10] However, it is common to store the subset of ASCII or UTF-8 – every character except NUL – in null-terminated strings. Some systems use "modified UTF-8" which encodes NUL as two non-zero bytes (0xC0, 0x80) and thus allow all possible strings to be stored. This is not allowed by the UTF-8 standard, because it is an overlong ...
Namely, by the standard, in UTF-8 there is only one valid byte sequence for any Unicode character, [1] but some byte sequences are invalid, i.e., they cannot be obtained by encoding any string of Unicode characters into UTF-8. Some sloppy decoder implementations may accept invalid byte sequences as input and produce a valid Unicode character as ...
For example, an ASCII (or extended ASCII) scheme will use a single byte of computer memory, while a UTF-8 scheme will use one or more bytes, depending on the particular character being encoded. Alternative ways to encode character values include specifying an integer value for a code point, such as an ASCII code value or a Unicode code point.
