Is there difference from more simple implementation?

Hi!

I'm using shorter and simplier implementation from there: https://gist.github.com/lihnux/2aa4a6f5a9170974f6aa

function toUTF8Array(str) {
    let utf8 = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
        let charcode = str.charCodeAt(i);
        if (charcode < 0x80) utf8.push(charcode);
        else if (charcode < 0x800) {
            utf8.push(0xc0 | (charcode >> 6),
                      0x80 | (charcode & 0x3f));
        }
        else if (charcode < 0xd800 || charcode >= 0xe000) {
            utf8.push(0xe0 | (charcode >> 12),
                      0x80 | ((charcode>>6) & 0x3f),
                      0x80 | (charcode & 0x3f));
        }
        // surrogate pair
        else {
            i++;
            // UTF-16 encodes 0x10000-0x10FFFF by
            // subtracting 0x10000 and splitting the
            // 20 bits of 0x0-0xFFFFF into two halves
            charcode = 0x10000 + (((charcode & 0x3ff)<<10)
                      | (str.charCodeAt(i) & 0x3ff));
            utf8.push(0xf0 | (charcode >>18),
                      0x80 | ((charcode>>12) & 0x3f),
                      0x80 | ((charcode>>6) & 0x3f),
                      0x80 | (charcode & 0x3f));
        }
    }
    return utf8;
}

Can you say, should I switch to your implementation and why?
