Clarify string-length encoding differences between ASCII & UTF-8 #11

Closed jviotti closed 3 years ago

jviotti commented 3 years ago

The formulas for obtaining the resulting string length are slightly different on the Tiny/Small ASCII encodings compared to the Tiny/Small UTF-8 encodings. The differences are small enough to go undetected. The clarification notes aim the highlight such differences.

This commit also fixes the indendation of the Tiny ASCII and Small ASCII lists.
