String decode(
List<int> codeUnits,
{bool allowMalformed}
)

Decodes the UTF-8 codeUnits (a list of unsigned 8-bit integers) to the corresponding string.

If the codeUnits start with a leading UNICODE_BOM_CHARACTER_RUNE this character is discarded.

If allowMalformed is true the decoder replaces invalid (or unterminated) character sequences with the Unicode Replacement character U+FFFD (�). Otherwise it throws a FormatException.

If allowMalformed is not given, it defaults to the allowMalformed that was used to instantiate this.
