5038   Unicode UTF8 file contains illegal byte sequence

Cause

This error occurs when the input Unicode file in UTF8 format does not contain characters that are legal UTF8 characters.

This is most-likely caused by specifying a file kind of Kind_Unicode_UTF8, when the actual file is not a true UTF8 format file.

Action

Check the validity of the file. This error may indicate a corrupted file. Use a non-JADE tool to find and correct the illegal UTF8 character sequence.
