How to get UTF8 octets?

This should be simple, but i've looked and looked and it seems all
anyone wants to do is get the percent-encoding or convert FROM utf8
octets.

But I want the octets themselves.

As in, I want to input Chinese (or anything, for that matter) and get
out something along the lines of \x05\x50\x3a etc...

It seems neither utf8_encode nor decide does this job, and neither
does countless other solutions i've tried.

Anyone know how to get this?

Thanks!

Terence

I only work in Perl occasionaly, and have been searching for a solution for a conversion, and everything I found seems much too complex. All I need to do is take a simple text file and copy it, however some specific lines are in fact in UTF8 as printed garbagy characters and they need to be converted to Unicode, so that the new text file can be imported into a desktop program and into some Word documents. For the moment I would be...

I am trying to understand how to work with Unicode in Perl. I have read the relevant man pages (perluniintro, perlunicode, etc.) and have written severl scripts to test/verifiy my understanding. However, I created a script that has unexpected output. The script is below and it contains some UTF-8 encoded characters which represent all five Spanish accented vowels plus the enye (n with a tilde over it) in upper and lower case. I hope...

Hello, I would like to know the status of the UTF8 support in MySQL 4.1. I tried to create a table using utf8 charset, and inserting hebrew text into it. it seems like it still treats this text as binary - for example the length() function returns 8 on 4 chars string, or when cretting a column using varchar(4) i can only insert 2 letters to it. So few questions:

I have a file which has no BOM and contains mostly single byte chars. There are numerous double byte chars (Japanese) which appear throughout. I need to take the resulting Unicode and store it in a DB and display it onscreen. No matter which way I open the file, convert it to Unicode/leave it as is or what ever, I see all single bytes ok, but double bytes become 2 seperate single bytes. Surely there is an easy way to convert these mixed...

Hi, I'm trying to let PHP write a 'sitemap.xml' sitemap for Google and other searchengines. It's working, except that the content in the XML file doesn't seem to be UTF8. (Which it should be, judging by the information given on Google's webmaster helpcenter). The way I test to see if the content is UTF8, is by opening the XML file in notepad and choose 'save as...'. Normally the coding option should be set to UTF8, but now it just...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
