It 14 turns out that some of these are useful for dealing with I/O streams coming 15 from non-UTF friendly sources. 16 17 The UTF8 Encoder is also useful for situations where valid UTF-8 might be 18 carried in streams that contain non-valid UTF; in particular I use it for 19 helping me cope with terminals that embed escape sequences in otherwise 20 valid UTF-8.
