Re: utf-8 validation error

I thought utf8 worked as follows:

Table 2   UTF-8 Bit Encoding of a Unicode Code Point


   Character Range Bit Encoding
      U+0000 - U+007F 0xxxxxxx
      U+0080 - U+07FF 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
      U+0800 - U+FFFF 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
      U+10000 - U+10FFFF 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx

(from:
http://www.sun.com/developers/gadc/technicalpublications/articles/utf8.html)

Which would require characters > 127. Isn't this how we are supposed to
display unicode in a web page? This does work in IE - I can mix Russian and
Chinese.

thanks - dave
