UTF-8: How can the reader know how many bytes a character counts?

Viewed 1320

UTF-8 can represent each character by one byte or more. Let's suppose that I have the following byte sequence:

48 65

How can I know if it's one character represented by 48 and another character represented by 65, or it's ONE character represented by a combination of TWO bytes 48 65?
