  Description     : JavaScript UTF-8 encoder/decoder

utf8.js is a well-tested UTF-8 encoder/decoder written in JavaScript.
Unlike many other JavaScript solutions, it is designed to be a proper
UTF-8 encoder/decoder: it can encode/decode any scalar Unicode code point
values, as per the Encoding Standard.


node-utf8 is required for node-engine.io-parser (#781458), which in
turn is required for node-socket.io (#707166).

The node-utf8 package will be maintained in the JavaScript team.
