UTF-8 Text Encoding Polyfill

text-encoding-utf-8 is a partial polyfill for the Web's Encoding Living Standard API, specifically designed to provide UTF-8 encoding and decoding capabilities for environments lacking native `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` implementations, such as older versions of Safari on iOS. The current stable version is 1.0.2, last updated over seven years ago. Its key differentiator is its strict focus on UTF-8 only, resulting in a smaller footprint compared to full polyfills like `text-encoding`. While it served a critical role historically, modern browsers and Node.js environments universally support `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` natively, rendering this polyfill largely obsolete for new development.
