FAQ

What limitations should I know?

Character limit: per processing session — process in batches if exceeded.

When might it fail?

Encoding selection: Different encoding formats support different character ranges — choose the appropriate encoding as needed.

What else should I watch for?

BOM impact: UTF-8 with BOM may display abnormally in some editors; for web development, UTF-8 without BOM is recommended.
