| A `U+FFFD` replacement value | ||
| (representing the aforementioned replacement character) will be returned | ||
| in case of decoding errors (invalid unicode scalar values). |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
To be honest, I don’t understand most of the text or its relevance here… the text basically says that invalid UTF-8 byte sequences will be decoded into U+FFFD replacement characters and that no error will be thrown in those cases, right?
How do UTF-16 and ASCII relate to that? What does “non-legal Unicode value” mean? (I would guess that this refers to characters that would be beyond U+10FFFF – if that’s correct, can you clarify that in the text?)
