COMP6021 Class 12

the one with the UTF-8

We reviewed the data from our experiments in the lab when we saved English & Japanese text using different formats.

I reviewed the UTF-8 variable length coding system. (screen capture failed)

Exercise
I gave students a UTF-8 message to decode. 49 E2 99 A5 E6 97 A5 E6 9C AC
Students were given copies of the relevant areas of the Unicode code points.

Although they got off to a slow start, I was very pleased that by the student all students had figured it out. This is the kind of thing that would make for a good exam question.
