## Overview In the initial implementation of $beginsWith, the range calculation for view indexes mistakenly appends an integer with the size of 8 bits which gets maxed out at FF, rather than building a binary with an extra 3 bytes at the end. Additionally, ICU defines the maximum sortable code point as `U+FFFF`. This is a more correct suffix when calculating the key range and is supported by older ICU versions (required for e.g. CentOS 7). This commit fixes the range calculation by correctly appending the `U+FFFF` code point in the range calculation. Additionally, we use the Erlang `utf8` binary type to verify that the result is a valid utf8 string. ## Testing recommendations `make mango-test` ## Related Issues or Pull Requests Initial implementation: #4810 ## Checklist - [ ] Code is written and works correctly - [ ] Changes are covered by tests - [ ] Any new configurable parameters are documented in `rel/overlay/etc/default.ini` - [ ] Documentation changes were made in the `src/docs` folder - [ ] Documentation changes were backported (separated PR) to affected branches -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
