Re: encoding and content in YML files

Valid UTF-8 encoding is an encoding of "Unicode code points" :-)

"Unicode code points" is a technical term -
http://gedcom-parse.sourceforge.net/doc/encoding.html is an OK explanation.
Unicode code points (or "Unicode characters", if you want to be less
formal) are in the range 0 to 10FFFF. Obviously you can't encode one such
beast in one byte. Hence, Unicode supports multiple ways of expressing
these code points as a sequence of bytes, UTF-8 being one such way to
encode them, as are the two UTF-16 (big and small endian) encodings.
