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):

Encoding Representation (hexadecimal) Representation (decimal) Bytes as characters
UTF-8 EF BB BF 239 187 191

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

    “Dreams are distorted representations of desire. So are dream- analyses.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The world men inhabit ... is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.”
    —Anna Ford (b. 1943)

    “The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
