note 69955 added to function.utf8-encode

In reply to Cundle: Note: The BOM is completely unnecessary in UTF-8. UTF-8 is interpreted the same way regardless of endianness, e.g. Λ (U+039B, GREEK CAPITAL LETTER LAMDA) is represented as the octets 0xCE, 0x9B, always in that order. Extra note: UTF-16 and UCS-2 are different. The same letter would be encoded as 0x03 0x9B on big-endian (e.g. Motorola) architecture, but 0x9B 0x03 on little-endian (e.g Intel) architecture. But in any case, there's nothing wrong with putting a BOM at the beginning of a UTF-8 encoded file. It is just treated as U+FEFF Zero Width No-Break Space. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 146.6.190.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69955 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69955/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69955/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69955/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69955/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69955/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69955/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69955 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69955 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
