When Streaming Responses Quietly Lose Non-ASCII Text: Measuring the Byte Boundary and the Event Boundary Separately

I measured why Japanese text disappears from streaming Gemini responses using a local mock SSE server. Two separate layers were broken, one of them silently, and an English-only test suite caught neither.

When Gemini API Returns Mojibake: 4 Places to Check First

Mojibake in Gemini API responses almost never comes from the API itself — it lives in your client code. Walk through the four layers (HTTP decoding, streaming chunks, output encoding, surrogate pairs) where the corruption hides.
