quarantine 'em

thats usually because of the variable word length - take UTF16 for example where each character is either 2 or 4 bytes

It makes a bit more complicated as you have to A example 4 bytes at a time to tell which is the case and B make sure you dont go past 0

alot of thse knocked up scripts either wont check the encoding or dont support all of them

"Naïve" has six characters, counting the combining umlaut. Naïvely reversing character by character results in "ev̈iaN". Accent's moved

hehe I remember my dad made that joke when bottled water because a thing (evian) :p Anyway it looks like the unlaut is a separate code

and theyve simply reversed the codes not taking into account that the one for the umlat is a prefix

and thats became not because - I have become my own autocorrect (i dont use it and still type whole wrong words) :P

also that should be suffix :p
