Editing Self-synchronizing code (section)

==Examples==
* [[UTF-8]] is self-synchronizing because the leading byte (<code>11xxxxxx</code>) and subsequent bytes (<code>10xxxxxx</code>) of a multi-byte code point have different bit patterns.
* [[High Level Data Link Control]] (HDLC)
* [[Advanced Data Communication Control Procedures]] (ADCCP)
* [[Fibonacci coding]]

Counterexamples:
* The prefix code {00, 11} is not self-synchronizing; while 0, 1, 01 and 10 are not codes, 00 and 11 are.
* The prefix code {''ab'',''ba''} is not self-synchronizing because ''abab'' contains ''ba''.
* The prefix code ''b''<sup>∗</sup>a (using the [[Kleene star]]) is not self-synchronizing (even though any new code word simply starts after ''a'') because code word ''ba'' contains code word ''a''.
