Hi Ken,
Valid UTF-8 and valid GB2312 can share the same sequences,
especially if it's just the odd `£' or `拢` in ASCII text.
It was just a suggestion, not one I was particularly crazy about ...
but not all arbitrary 8-bit sequences are valid UTF-8.
Oh, agreed.
And it looks like for GB2312 (using the EUC-CN encoding, right?) it
would be harder, but there are certainly invalid sequences for GB2312.
Yep. But there's a lot of valid sequences for both that look like each
other. UTF-8 for U+00a3, that `£', is U+62e2, `拢', if the UTF-8 0xc2
0xa3 is treated as (EUC-CN) GB2312.
$ printf '\x00\xa3' |

00000000 62 e2 |b.|
