Hm? ISO Latin-1 characters from 00 to 7F encoded in single bytes
represent the same Unicode characters as those bytes interpreted as
UTF-8, simply because ASCII is a subset both of Latin-1 and UTF-8. 00 to
7F is that common subset.
There is no Unicode transformation format or other encoding that permits
this. The code point range is actually x000010-x0000FF, and the encodings
are
0000000010000000 0000000011111111 UTF-16 Big Endian
That first number of 0x80, not 0x10. If you meant 0x80 .. 0xFF, then I
agree with you.
