title: example of a utf-8 format octet string
body: <p>I'm working w/ a function that expects a string formatted as a utf-8 encoded octet string.  Can someone give me an example of what a utf-8 encoded octet string would look like?  </p>
  
  <p>Put another way, if I convert 'foo' to bytes, I get 112, 111, 111.  What would these char codes look like as a utf-8 encoded octet string?  Would it be "0x70 0x6f 0x6f"?  </p>
  
  <p>The context of my question is the process of generating an openid signature as described in the <a href="http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#kvform" rel="nofollow noreferrer">openid spec</a>: "The message MUST be encoded in UTF-8 to produce a byte string." I'm looking for an example of what this would look like.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
