gollark: Is this based on chars or bytes?
gollark: ```java public static String normaliseLabel( String label ) { if( label == null ) return null; int length = Math.min( 32, label.length() ); StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder( length ); for( int i = 0; i < length; i++ ) { char c = label.charAt( i ); if( (c >= ' ' && c <= '~') || (c >= 161 && c <= 172) || (c >= 174 && c <= 255) ) { builder.append( c ); } else { builder.append( '?' ); } } return builder.toString();}```
gollark: It doesn't seem to be.
gollark: Also, what are the restrictions on them? I ask because I want to use this as an insane serial protocol.
gollark: <@237328509234708481> What is the max length of labels?
