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)

    “The mastery of one’s phonemes may be compared to the violinist’s mastery of fingering. The violin string lends itself to a continuous gradation of tones, but the musician learns the discrete intervals at which to stop the string in order to play the conventional notes. We sound our phonemes like poor violinists, approximating each time to a fancied norm, and we receive our neighbor’s renderings indulgently, mentally rectifying the more glaring inaccuracies.”
    —W.V. Quine (b. 1908)

    “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)
