FAQ
Questions Text Encoding Detector owners ask.
- 01
What encodings can be detected?
The capability can detect UTF-8, ASCII, and ISO-8859-1 by analyzing byte patterns and Byte Order Marks.
- 02
How does normalization handle errors?
When using normalize_to_utf8, any invalid byte sequences are replaced with the Unicode Replacement Character (U+FFFD).
- 03
Can I check for non-ASCII characters?
Yes, the audit_character_integrity capability provides a count of all non-ASCII characters in a string.
