The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international standards organization that develops open standards for the continued operations of World Wide Web. Founded by Tim Berners-Lee at MIT, the consortium is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the Web.
Industry:Computer; Software
The ANSI C defined wide character type, usually implemented as either 16 or 32 bits. ANSI specifies that wchar_t be an integral type and that the C language source character set be mappable by simple extension (zero- or sign-extension).

A Unicode code unit sequence that purports to be in a Unicode encoding form is called well-formed if and only if it does follow the specification of that Unicode encoding form.
Industry:Computer; Software
A code unit sequence that follows the specification of a Unicode encoding form.
Industry:Computer; Software
A well-formed Unicode code unit sequence of UTF-16 code units.
Industry:Computer; Software
A well-formed Unicode code unit sequence of UTF-32 code units.
Industry:Computer; Software
A well-formed Unicode code unit sequence of UTF-8 code units.
* The UTF-8 code unit sequence <41 C3 B1 42> is well-formed, because it can be partitioned into subsequences, all of which match the specification for UTF-8 in Table 3-7. It consists of the following minimal well-formed code unit subsequences: <41>, <C3 B1>, and <42>.
* The UTF-8 code unit sequence <41 C2 C3 B1 42> is ill-formed, because it contains one ill-formed subsequence. There is no subsequence for the C2 byte which matches the specification for UTF-8 in Table 3-7. The code unit sequence is partitioned into one minimal well-formed code unit subsequence, <41>, followed by one ill-formed code unit subsequence, <C2>, followed by two minimal well-formed code unit subsequences, <C3 B1> and <42>.
* In isolation, the UTF-8 code unit sequence <C2 C3> would be ill-formed, but in the context of the UTF-8 code unit sequence <41 C2 C3 B1 42>, <C2 C3> does not constitute an ill-formed code unit subsequence, because the C3 byte is actually the first byte of the minimal well-formed UTF-8 code unit subsequence <C3 B1>. Ill-formed code unit subsequences do not overlap with minimal well-formed code unit subsequences.
