    public class Utf8StringBuffer
    extends Utf8Appendable

UTF-8 StringBuffer. This class wraps a standard `StringBuffer` and provides methods to append UTF-8 encoded bytes, that are converted into characters. This class is stateful and up to 4 calls to `Utf8Appendable.append(byte)` may be needed before state a character is appended to the string buffer. The UTF-8 decoding is done by this class and no additional buffers or Readers are used. The UTF-8 code was inspired by http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de/utf-8/decoder/dfa/
