Subject: Strange `UTF-8'?
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2000 11:38:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vaf4s4wt7mp.fsf@lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
I received a message which was labeled charset=UTF-8, but my name was
all wrong. I then used Mule-UCS to create a UTF-8 file with my name
in it, ran `less' on it, and got this output:
Gro<C3><9F>johann
Running `less' on the message file was different:
Gro<C3><83>Yjohann
What is happening here? Do the two encodings mean the same thing (but
Mule-UCS does not know that), or is the second one bogus? Why is it
bogus?
The message was created with:
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-15mdksecure i686)
