Description Detlef Horchler 2009-02-17 03:39:35 UTC 
I get this error message though I believe that "\xC2" a valid utf-8 character is
(LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX):


 Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 532  it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8  (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "\xC2" does not map to Unicode
Comment 1 Etienne Miret 2009-08-17 01:41:31 UTC 
UTF-8 for LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX (U+00C2) is \xC3\x82. \xC2 is valid in UTF-8 only if followed by a byte in the range 80-BF.

I suggest closing this bug as invalid.
