Updated answer for 2015 & beyond: import ( “encoding/xml” “golang.org/x/net/html/charset” ) reader := bytes.NewReader(theXml) decoder := xml.NewDecoder(reader) decoder.CharsetReader = charset.NewReaderLabel err = decoder.Decode(&parsed)
MySQL’s utf32 and utf8mb4 (as well as standard UTF-8) can directly store any character specified by Unicode; the former is fixed size at 4 bytes per character whereas the latter is between 1 and 4 bytes per character. utf8mb3 and the original utf8 can only store the first 65,536 codepoints, which will cover CJVK (Chinese, … Read more
>>> c=”\xe7\x9a\x84″.decode(‘utf8′) >>> c u’\u7684’ >>> print c 的 though Unicode encodes it in 16 bits, utf8 breaks it down to 3 bytes.
From the documentation: The FSO can read only ASCII text files. You cannot use the FSO to read Unicode files or to read binary file formats such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. Since you got weird characters, I guess that’s somewhat incorrect and the file was read in some 8-bit windows code page because … Read more
The term is ambiguous, but in my internationalization work, we typically avoided the term “multibyte character sets” to refer to Unicode-based encodings. Generally, we used the term only for legacy encoding schemes that had one or more bytes to define each character (excluding encodings that require only one byte per character). Shift-jis, jis, euc-jp, euc-kr, … Read more
$ file –mime my.txt my.txt: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
That depends on where you use it… The name of the encoding is UTF-8. A dash is not valid to use everywhere, so for example in .NET framework the property of the System.Text.Encoding class that returns an instance of the UTF8Encoding class that handles the UTF-8 encoding is named UTF8.
The easiest way I found for this is #!/usr/bin/env bash #Add BOM to the new file printf ‘\xEF\xBB\xBF’ > with_bom.txt # Append the content of the source file to the new file cat source_file.txt >> with_bom.txt I know it uses an external program (cat)… but it will do the job easily in bash Tested on … Read more
If you want to add newline in Xcode5 / Xcode6 storyboard Attribute-Inspector (AI), you do it this way: Drag out a UITextView. Double-click it to edit text, place cursor where you want the paragraph break. Hit alt-Enter a couple of times to create a blank line & paragraph. Or, CTRL + Return make a new … Read more
ASCII is a subset of UTF-8, so all ASCII files are already UTF-8 encoded. The bytes in the ASCII file and the bytes that would result from “encoding it to UTF-8” would be exactly the same bytes. There’s no difference between them, so there’s no need to do anything. It looks like your problem is … Read more
