I have encountered an interesting issue. I'm using node v8.1.4
I have the following buffer.
[ 191, 164, 235, 131, 30, 28, 164, 179, 101, 138, 94, 36, 115, 176, 83, 193, 9, 177, 85, 228, 189, 193, 127, 71, 165, 16, 211, 132, 228, 241, 57, 207, 254, 152, 122, 98, 100, 71, 67, 100, 29, 218, 165, 101, 25, 17, 177, 173, 92, 173, 162, 186, 198, 1, 80, 94, 228, 165, 124, 171, 78, 49, 145, 158 ] When i try to convert it to utf8 using nodejs and using browser i get different results. even length of string is not the same.
Is there a way to convert string to utf8 in browser same way as node js do?
It seems that some characters that some sequence which nodejs replace to U+FFFD are more lengthy than the replaced sequence in browser. so output utf8 string is different
Code i use in browser and in nodejs is samei have buffer object tmpString
tmpString.toString('utf-8')tmpString.toString('utf-8').length differs in browser and nodejs for the same source bytes.
In nodejs i use native buffer implementation, for browser webpack loads polyfill (feross/buffer i think)
i think more accurately would say that i try to interpret buffer bytes as UTF8 string.
