Representations of Byte Order Marks By Encoding

This table illustrates how BOMs are represented as octet sequences and how they appear expressed in another encoding (here the legacy ISO-8859-1):

Famous quotes containing the words representations of, order and/or marks:

    “Dreams are distorted representations of desire. So are dream- analyses.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Where mass opinion dominates the government, there is a morbid derangement of the true functions of power. The derangement brings about the enfeeblement, verging on paralysis, of the capacity to govern. This breakdown in the constitutional order is the cause of the precipitate and catastrophic decline of Western society. It may, if it cannot be arrested and reversed, bring about the fall of the West.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “One of the marks of a truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action—the ability to pass directly from thought to action.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
