    Alopecoid asks, " can the byte values for the ASCII characters appear by chance as the bytes in the 2nd to 4th positions of other UTF-8 characters?"

    No, ASCII characters always appear as ASCII single bytes in UTF-8. All other UTF-8 bytes have at least the most significant bit set, i.e., are greater than or equal to 0x80 (128 decimal).
