Dave Crocker scripsit:
That's right. It is an "encoding". Raw Unicode takes more than 8-bits. Lots
more. UTF-8 is a method of encoding those raw bits into a non-raw form.
[snip]
It might be a more efficient encoding, but it is no more "native" or "direct"
or "raw" than ACE.
That's only true if you take the position that there are no native/direct/raw
encodings of Unicode.
