I learned more about bit packing in UTF-8 than I wanted to

*tries to restrain self, fails* You mean Latin-1 nonbreaking space ASCII is a 7-bit encoding and anything past 0x9F is some kind of extension. (With Latin-1 being the usual winner. With Code Page 437 an important legacy option.) * a giant shepherd's crook pulls me offstage.*

No, this isn't what I mean. Non breaking space is ASCII 160, which is an 8 bit value with a 1 in the high bit, so not 7 bit, which is exactly why it can't fit in 1 byte in UTF 8, which reserves 1 in the high bit for indicating that the byte is the final byte in a n byte sequence
