[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Essentially as an exercise, I tried to write the smaller possible
UTF-8 encoder in Lua [1].
Compared to a naive implementation like in [2], it is around 2.6 times shorter.
Still, I am wondering if the code could be further shorted (not
counting space removal).

handle 4 bytes codes)
