Fffe - Representations of Byte Order Marks By Encoding

Representations of Byte Order Marks By Encoding

This table illustrates how BOMs are represented as byte sequences and how they might appear in a text editor that is interpreting each byte as a legacy encoding (CP1252 and symbols for the C0 controls):

Famous quotes containing the words representations of, order and/or marks:

    “These marbles, the works of the dreamers and idealists of old, live on, leading and pointing to good. They are the works of visionaries and dreamers, but they are realizations of soul, the representations of the ideal. They are grand, beautiful, and true, and they speak with a voice that echoes through the ages. Governments have changed; empires have fallen; nations have passed away; but these mute marbles remain—the oracles of time, the perfection of art.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I had to kick their law into their teeth in order to save them.
    However I have heard that sometimes you have to deal
    Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.
    Or they will haul themselves and you to the trash and the fish beneath.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was. In the midst of this sometimes excessive concern, a new sympathy for children was promoted. Sometimes this meant criticizing adults. . . . So far as parents were put on the defensive in this way, the beginning of the Christian era marks a revolution in the child’s status.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
