 UTR #26: Compatibility Encoding Scheme for UTF-16: 8-Bit (CESU-8)
It should be noted that this bit distribution table is identical to that of UTF-8 except that the input value is a sequence of UTF-16 code units, not a scalar value, and that a four-byte transformation is disallowed.
The bit pattern 1111xxxx is illegal in any CESU-8 byte, effectively prohibiting the occurrence of UTF-8 four-byte surrogates in CESU-8.
The resulting data stream is encoded into an eight-bit form using the bit distribution table in definition 2.2.

 [No title]
The remaining bit(s) of that octet contain bits from the value of the character to be encoded.
UTF-8, the object of this memo, uses all bits of an octet, but has the quality of preserving the full US-ASCII range: US-ASCII characters are encoded in one octet having the normal US- ASCII value, and any octet with such a value can only stand for an US-ASCII character, and nothing else.
UTF-7 has the quality of encoding the full BMP repertoire using only octets with the high-order bit clear (7 bit US-ASCII values, [US-ASCII]), and is thus deemed a mail-safe encoding ([RFC2152]).

 Applied Color Theory - Field Test of 8-bit vs. 16-bit
One can vary resolution quite a bit without hurting anything but it's definitely possible to scan at a resolution that is so high that it actually harms quality, just as it is to scan at a resolution so low that the result will be disagreeable.
Again, here it is not 16 bit editing that matters but the fact that, even in 16 bit mode, Photoshop's selections are 8 bit alpha channels.
I don1t consider edits on an 8 bit file to lose data due to 3rounding errors2 but that1s semantics and not worth getting into.

 More Than a Bit of a Difference: 8-bit Versus 16-bit - Photo Tips @ Earthbound Light
If an image is a bit underexposed and lacking in contrast, it may only use values between 0 and 199 perhaps (200 out of the possible 256 values).
We can help fix things by spreading those values further apart so that they range between 0 and 255 instead of only 0 and 199, but we have no way to invent new values to fill in the resulting gaps.
The problem is that nearly everything we do in the process of editing an image causes us to lose data.

 8-bit clean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This leaves the top bit of each byte free for use as a parity bit or some kind of flag bit.
"Eight-bit clean" is a term which describes a computer system that deals correctly with extended character sets which (unlike ASCII) use all eight bits of a byte, such as the ISO 8859 series and the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode.
Up to the early 1990s, which is much longer than when it became popular, many programs and communications systems used to assume that all characters have codes in the range 0 to 127.

RHamiIton5 elaborates: (5/12/01) The Atari 8 drives do not have write heads and circuity which can handle the type of oxide coating used on the high density floppy media; they cannot write reliably to them.

Instead, his keyboard is connected to a single piece of computer equipment: a PC containing 8 MB of RAM, a 40-MB hard drive and a 386DX CPU, a microchip Intel released in 1985.
The Little Sound DJ is a cartridge for the Nintendo Game Boy that can be programmed to take advantage of the whopping 4 bits of sound the handheld gaming device is able to output, turning it into a crude, but undeniably cool, music machine.
Shulgin's stage moniker, "386 DX," is drawn from the PC, which he's been using in live performances since 1998.

 Glossary - 8-bit Color Images
However there are two problems with this approach:
Storing 24 bits for every pixel leads to very large image files that with current technology are cumbersome to store and manipulate.
It is common for each component intensity to be stored as an 8-bit integer, and so each pixel requires 24 bits to completely and accurately specify its color.

 Operating Systems Through Time (8-bits)
While some operating systems, like the love-hate Unix, have been around since the early days of digital computing (read 1960's), most have appeared in the late 70's to the present time, varying from powerful multiuser OS's to little OS's that ran on 8 bit computers in under 64K of memory.
Atari released a XE line, which was just a repackage of the 1200's, and its ST line, a 16 bit system.
More Information: One of the most baffling things about the TI is that its CPU, the TMS 9900, is in fact a 16 bit processor, and it deals in 16-bit quantities internally; but, it only exposes eight lines to the system, and multiplexes them instead for the full 16 bits.
