You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Read a file one character at a time, as opposed to reading the entire file at once.
The solution may be implemented as a procedure, which returns the next character in the file on each consecutive call (returning EOF when the end of the file is reached).
The procedure should support the reading of files containing UTF8 encoded wide characters, returning whole characters for each consecutive read.

J
Reading a file a character at a time is antithetical not only to the architecture of J, but to the architecture and design of most computers and most file systems. Nevertheless, this can be a useful concept if you're building your own hardware. So let's model it...
First, we know that the first 8-bit value in a utf-8 sequence tells us the length of the sequence needed to represent that character. Specifically: we can convert that value to binary, and count the number of leading 1s to find the length of the character (except the length is always at least 1 character long).
<lang J>u8len=: 1 >. 0 i.~ (8#2)#:a.&i.</lang>
So now, we can use indexed file read to read a utf-8 character starting at a specific file index. What we do is read the first octet and then read as many additional characters as we need based on whatever we started with. If that's not possible, we will return EOF:
<lang J>indexedread1u8=:4 :0
try. octet0=. 1!:11 y;x,1 octet0,1!:11 y;(x+1),<:u8len octet0 catch. 'EOF' end.
)</lang>
The length of the result tells us what to add to the file index to find the next available file index for reading.
Of course, this is massively inefficient. So if someone ever asks you to do this, make sure you ask them "Why?" Because the answer to that question is going to be important (and might suggest a completely different implementation).
Note also that it would make more sense to return an empty string, instead of the string 'EOF', when we reach the end of the file. But that is out of scope for this task.

jq
jq being stream-oriented, it makes sense to define `readc` so that it emits a stream of the UTF-8 characters in the input: <lang jq>def readc:
inputs + "\n" | explode[] | [.] | implode;</lang>
Example: <lang sh>
echo '过活' | jq -Rn 'include "readc"; readc' "过" "活" "\n"</lang>
Julia
The built-in read(stream, Char) function reads a single UTF8-encoded character from a given stream.
<lang julia>open("myfilename") do f
while !eof(f)
c = read(f, Char)
println(c)
end
end</lang>
Kotlin
<lang scala>// version 1.1.2
import java.io.File
const val EOF = -1
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val reader = File("input.txt").reader() // uses UTF-8 by default
reader.use {
while (true) {
val c = reader.read()
if (c == EOF) break
print(c.toChar()) // echo to console
}

NetRexx
Java and by extension NetRexx provides I/O functions that read UTF-8 encoded character data directly from an attached input stream. The Reader.read() method reads a single character as an integer value in the range 0 – 65535 [0x00 – 0xffff], reading from a file encoded in UTF-8 will read each codepoint into an int. In the sample below the readCharacters method reads the file character by character into a String and returns the result to the caller. The rest of this sample examines the result and formats the details.
- The file data/utf8-001.txt it a UTF-8 encoded text file containing the following: y䮀𝄞𝄢12.

Raku
(formerly Perl 6)
Raku has a built in method .getc to get a single character from an open file handle. File handles default to UTF-8, so they will handle multi-byte characters correctly.
To read a single character at a time from the Standard Input terminal; $*IN in Raku: <lang perl6>.say while defined $_ = $*IN.getc;</lang>
Or, from a file: <lang perl6>my $filename = 'whatever';
my $in = open( $filename, :r ) orelse .die;
print $_ while defined $_ = $in.getc;</lang>
REXX
version 1
REXX doesn't support UTF8 encoded wide characters, just bytes.
The task's requirement stated that EOF was to be returned upon reaching the end-of-file, so this programming example was written as a subroutine (procedure).
Note that displaying of characters that may modify screen behavior such as tab usage, backspaces, line feeds, carriage returns, "bells" and others are suppressed, but their hexadecimal equivalents are displayed.

Rust
Rust standard library provides hardly any straight-forward way to read single UTF-8 characters from a file. Following code implements an iterator that consumes a byte stream, taking only as many bytes as necessary to decode the next UTF-8 character. It provides quite a complete error report, so that the client code can leverage it to deal with corrupted input.
The decoding code is based on utf8-decode crate originally.

Seed7
The library utf8.s7i
provides the functions openUtf8
and getc.
When a file has been opened with openUtf8 fhe function getc reads UTF-8 characters from the file.
To allow writing Unicode characters to standard output
the file STD_UTF8_OUT is used.
<lang seed7>$ include "seed7_05.s7i";
include "utf8.s7i";
const proc: main is func
local
var file: inFile is STD_NULL;
var char: ch is ' ';
begin
OUT := STD_UTF8_OUT;
inFile := openUtf8("readAFileCharacterByCharacterUtf8.in", "r");
if inFile <> STD_NULL then
while hasNext(inFile) do
ch := getc(inFile);
writeln("got character " <& ch <& " [U+" <& ord(ch) radix 16 <& "]");
end while;
close(inFile);
end if;
end func;</lang>
- Output:
When the input file readAFileCharacterByCharacterUtf8.in contains the characters aă€⼥ the output is:

Tcl
To read a single character from a file, use: <lang tcl>set ch [read $channel 1]</lang> This will read multiple bytes sufficient to obtain a Unicode character if a suitable encoding has been configured on the channel. For binary channels, this will always consume exactly one byte. However, the low-level channel buffering logic may consume more than one byte (which only really matters where the channel is being handed on to another process and the channel is over a file descriptor that doesn't support the lseek OS call); the extent of buffering can be controlled via: <lang tcl>fconfigure $channel -buffersize $byteCount</lang> When the channel is only being accessed from Tcl (or via Tcl's C API) it is not normally necessary to adjust this option.

zkl
zkl doesn't know much about UTF-8 or Unicode but is able to test whether a string or number is valid UTF-8 or not. This code uses that to build a state machine to decode a byte stream into UTF-8 characters. <lang zkl>fcn readUTF8c(chr,s=""){ // transform UTF-8 character stream

VM#1 caught this unhandled exception:
ValueError : Invalid UTF-8 string
If you wish to push a UTF-8 stream through one or more functions, you can use the same state machine: <lang zkl>stream:=Data(Void,s,"\n").howza(3); // character stream stream.pump(List,readUTF8c,"print")</lang>
- Output:
-->€123
and returns a list of the eight UTF-8 characters (with newline). Or, if file "foo.txt" contains the characters: <lang zkl>File("foo.txt","rb").howza(3).pump(List,readUTF8c,"print");</lang> produces the same result.
