How to Fix Invalid Byte Sequences in UTF-8
What is Unicode?
That's what we will talk about in this video!
Unicode is a system for character encoding, this allows you to represent an string using numbers.
But there are more character mapping systems, like ASCII, and that can sometimes become a problem.
When?
Reading a file
Loading data from a database
Sending an HTTP request to a web server
Every time you work with data you could be getting data in a different format than the default (UTF-8) & then you'll get an "invalid byte sequence" error.
In this video you'll learn how to identify & fix this error.
