Javascript: UTF8 ↔ String & UTF8 ↔ base64

Fucntion to convert to UTF8 byte array:


function toUTF8Array(str) {
var utf8 = [];
for (var i=0; i < str.length; i++) {
var charcode = str.charCodeAt(i);
if (charcode < 0x80) utf8.push(charcode);
else if (charcode < 0x800) {
utf8.push(0xc0 | (charcode >> 6),
0x80 | (charcode & 0x3f));
}
else if (charcode < 0xd800 || charcode >= 0xe000) {
utf8.push(0xe0 | (charcode >> 12),
0x80 | ((charcode>>6) & 0x3f),
0x80 | (charcode & 0x3f));
}
// surrogate pair
else {
i++;
// UTF-16 encodes 0x10000-0x10FFFF by
// subtracting 0x10000 and splitting the
// 20 bits of 0x0-0xFFFFF into two halves
charcode = 0x10000 + (((charcode & 0x3ff)<<10)
| (str.charCodeAt(i) & 0x3ff))
utf8.push(0xf0 | (charcode >>18),
0x80 | ((charcode>>12) & 0x3f),
0x80 | ((charcode>>6) & 0x3f),
0x80 | (charcode & 0x3f));
}
}
return utf8;
}
