API reference › @evolu/common › Bytes › encodeString

function encodeString(buffer: Buffer, value: string): void;

Defined in: packages/common/src/Bytes.ts:533

Encodes a length-prefixed UTF-8 string.

A lone surrogate becomes U+FFFD, so the bytes are always valid UTF-8. Unlike encodeJsonValue, which keeps lone surrogates, this does not round-trip every JavaScript string.
