@ -811,7 +811,7 @@ There's another encoding that is able to encoding the full range of Unicode
characters: UTF-8. UTF-8 is an 8-bit encoding, which means there are no issues
with byte order in UTF-8. Each byte in a UTF-8 byte sequence consists of two
parts: Marker bits (the most significant bits) and payload bits. The marker bits
are a sequence of zero to six 1 bits followed by a 0 bit. Unicode characters are
are a sequence of zero to four ``1`` bits followed by a ``0`` bit. Unicode characters are
encoded like this (with x being payload bits, which when concatenated give the
Unicode character):
