Guidance
Get reliable results
- 1Keep a complete byte sequence for each character
- 2Use space-separated output when manually checking boundaries
- 3Confirm the source is UTF-8 before treating bytes as text
The decoder expects valid UTF-8 text. Arbitrary binary data may not have a meaningful text representation.
