Q. current internal encoding for lit_utf8_byte_t * ?

[chunseoklee]

I am working on encoding stuff for IoT.js.
I have a question on jerry encoding.
Here is my question : which encoding is used for lit_utf8_byte_t * ? cesu8, utf8 or both ?

[dbatyai]

Strings are encoded internally as cesu8, even though it says utf8 in function names. See discussion about this here.

@dbatyai Thanys for help.
I have 1 more q.
ecma_string_to_utf8_string returns utf8 string or cesu8 string ?

[dbatyai]

@chunseoklee, ecma_string_to_utf8_string returns a cesu8 encoded string as well.

[chunseoklee]

@dbatyai It is strange. jerry_api_string_to_char_buffer for "\uD834\uDD1E(MUSICAL SYMBOL G CLEF' (U+1D11E))" seems to return data[f09d849e] of 4 byte lengths(utf-8 encoded) which is illegal for cesu-8 encoding.

On latest commit, jerry_api_string_to_char_buffer returns cesu encoded format string.
I will close this issue.
