Byte Order Mark - Representations of Byte Order Marks By Encoding

Representations of Byte Order Marks By Encoding

This table illustrates how BOMs are represented as octet sequences and how they appear expressed in another encoding (here the legacy ISO-8859-1):

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)

    “We are born into them, marry into them, even create them among the people we love. They come large and extended...or small and nuclear. But whatever their size or wherever they live, strong families give us the nurturance and strength we need in order to survive.”
    —Andrea Davis (20th century)

    “Now only a dent in the earth marks the site of these dwellings, with buried cellar stones, and strawberries, raspberries, thimble-berries, hazel-bushes, and sumachs growing in the sunny sward there.... These cellar dents, like deserted fox burrows, old holes, are all that is left where once were the stir and bustle of human life, and “fate, free will, foreknowledge absolute,” in some form and dialect or other were by turns discussed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
