      I’m not a native speaker but from what I read I get the impression that you think utf-8
      restricts character encoding to be 8 bits which clearly isn’t the case.
      Checkout rfc3629 and maybe rfc1855 as well.

      Cheers

        Okay my bad, feel sorry for you guys having to listen to me drone on about it @Scott Sumner
        i’ll admin I have the utf 8 part wrong, so no support for 8 byte text editing in notepad++ then? hardly seems like an extension to the existing standard? ansi maybe its ansi i should be using? My bad if thats all it is i just want notepad++ to force 8 byte text? also can you clarify 1 to four, how does it decide when and how much to dish out exactly?

        “UTF-8 is a variable width character encoding capable of encoding all 1,112,064 valid code points in Unicode using one to four 8-bit bytes. The encoding is defined by the Unicode standard, and was originally designed by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike.”

        1 or 4? Must be run length encoded or sumfin. or using say 4 bits(granularity 16 variations) each element to describe its length. or somthing black hat maybe, my oh my, what we do to waste time while the 20 minute time limit comes up.

        Anyways last message for the night i’ll leave you guys in peace now i have

        I STAND CORRECTED.
