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)

    “Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.”
    —Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)

    “If any personal description of me is thought desirable, it may be said, I am, in height, six feet, four inches, nearly; lean in flesh, weighing, on an average, one hundred and eighty pounds; dark complexion, with course black hair, and grey eyes—no other marks or brands recollected.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
