Line 19:
The byte length calculations for unicode appear generally incorrect. They're only valid for codepoints which are in the Basic Multilingual Plane, but not for the Supplemental planes. I.e. 🀁 wouldn't fit within a single wide character; it would be represented in UTF-16 as 0xD38C and 0xDC01 (if I've done the math right). --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 18:24, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
: If you want to be completely general, there exist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_normalization other issues to consider.] Note, in particular, that not all combining forms have codepoints. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:31, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:: could we see a text file that contains the various BYTE strings and the expected length results? ..[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 08:03, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
