UTF-8 decoder capability and stress test |

This test text examines, how UTF-8 decoders handle various types of |
|
|||
|
corrupted or otherwise interesting UTF-8 sequences. |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
According to ISO 10646-1, sections R.7 and 2.3c, a device receiving |
|
|||
|
UTF-8 shall interpret a "malformed sequence in the same way that it |
|
|||
|
interprets a character that is outside the adopted subset". This means |
|
|||
|
usually that the malformed UTF-8 sequence is replaced by a replacement |
|
|||
|
character (U+FFFD), which looks a bit like an inverted question mark, |
|
|||
|
or a similar symbol. It might be a good idea to visually distinguish a |
|
|||
|
malformed UTF-8 sequence from a correctly encoded Unicode character |
|
|||
|
that is just not available in the current font but otherwise fully |
|
|||
|
legal. For both cases, a clearly recognisable symbol should be used. |
|
|||
|
Just ignoring malformed sequences or unavailable characters will make |
|
|||
|
debugging more difficult and can lead to user confusion. |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
Test sequences: |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
Check, whether a malformed UTF-8 sequence is (1) represented at all, |
|
|||
|
(2) represented by exactly one replacement character (or equivalent |
|
|||
|
signal), and (3) the following quotation mark after an illegal UTF-8 |
|
|||
|
sequence is correctly displayed, i.e. proper resynchronization takes |
|
|||
|
place. This file says "THE END" in the last line, so if you don't see |
|
|||
|
that, your decoder crashed somehow before, which is also not nice. |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
All lines in this file are exactly 79 characters long (plus the line |
|
|||
|
feed). In addition, all lines end with "|", except for the two test |
|
|||
|
lines 2.1.1 and 2.2.1, which contain non-printable ASCII controls |
|
|||
|
U+0000 and U+007F. If you display this file with a fixed-width font, |
|
|||
|
these "|" characters should all line up in column 79 (right margin). |
|
|||
|
This allows you to test quickly, whether your UTF-8 decoder finds the |
|
|||
|
correct number of characters in every line. |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
Here come the tests: |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
1 Some correct UTF-8 text |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
You should see the Greek word 'kosme': "κόσμε" |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
2 Minimum and maximum valid values for every UTF-8 sequence length |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
You should see a correctly encoded character each time (which is not |
|
|||
|
necessarily an existing character). |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

2.1 First possible sequence of a certain length |
