If any percent-encoded octets in that string are not valid UTF-8 sequences (e.g. they expand to surrogate code points), then skip this step and the next one. Any chance of getting an algorithm for this somehow? http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-indicated-part-of-the-document 82984 1 annevk 2013-02-12 11:52:15 +0000 So the algorithm you want is: 1. Percent decode /input/ into /bytes/. 2. Run utf-8's decoder on /bytes/. If that emitted an encoder error, return input, otherwise return the result of running utf-8's decoder on /bytes/. Isn't that simple enough to just put in the HTML specification? 83077 2 ian 2013-02-13 00:25:57 +0000 Sure, I can do it in the HTML spec if you like. 85824 3 contributor 2013-04-09 19:24:07 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r7796.
