A week or so ago, I asked for comments on a C++ algorithm for converting
UTF-32 to UTF-8. There were a couple of things pointed out to me that had
to do with the pseudo-code algorithm I provided to the developer. Here's a
revised pseudo-code algorithm:
U is a Unicode scalar value; C1, C2, etc. are byte code units in a UTF-8
sequence; and \ is integer divide.
If U <= U+007F, then
C1 = U
Else if U+0080 <= U <= U+07FF, then
C1 = U \ x40 + xC0
C2 = U mod x40 + x80
Else if U+0800 <= U <= U+D7FF, or if U+E000 <= U <= U+FFFF, then
C1 = U \ x1000 + xE0
C2 = (U mod x1000) \ x40 + x80
C3 = U mod x40 + x80
Else if U >= U+FFFF, then
C1 = U \ x40000 + xF0
C2 = (U mod x40000) \ x1000 + x80
C3 = (U mod 100016) \ x40 + x80
C4 = U mod x40 + x80
Else
Error
End if
