Is UTF8 a prefix code in use today? If so, I think it should be included. 71.158.69.195 22:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comma-Free Codes

Comma-Free codes are not the same thing as prefix codes. Any set with 11 (or any code word comprised of only one bit for that matter) cannot be a comma-free code. This is shown in "Comma-Free Codes" by Golomb, Gordon and Welch in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics vol. 10, no. 2, pp. 202-209 (1958).

What definition of "comma" does Golomb use in that paper? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 14:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do I get it right that comma-free code is the same as self-synchronizing code? Jaan Vajakas (talk) 16:42, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
