- Character encodings for beginners
A character encoding provides a key to unlock (ie crack) the code It is a set of mappings between the bytes in the computer and the characters in the character set Without the key, the data looks like garbage The misleading term charset is often used to refer to what are in reality character encodings
- encoding - What are Unicode, UTF-8, and UTF-16? - Stack Overflow
An encoding form maps a code point to a code unit sequence A code unit is the way you want characters to be organized in memory, 8-bit units, 16-bit units and so on UTF-8 uses one to four units of eight bits, and UTF-16 uses one or two units of 16 bits, to cover the entire Unicode of 21 bits maximum
- What is character encoding and why should I bother with it
I am quite confused about the concept of character encoding What is Unicode, GBK, etc? How does a programming language use them? Do I need to bother knowing about them? Is there a simpler or fas
- Whats the difference between encoding and charset?
A character-encoding scheme is a mapping between one or more coded character sets and a set of octet (eight-bit byte) sequences UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO 2022, and EUC are examples of character-encoding schemes
- character encoding - Unicode, UTF, ASCII, ANSI format differences . . .
What is the difference between the Unicode, UTF8, UTF7, UTF16, UTF32, ASCII, and ANSI encodings? In what way are these helpful for programmers?
- What is the difference between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 encodings?
UTF-8 is a multibyte encoding that can represent any Unicode character ISO 8859-1 is a single-byte encoding that can represent the first 256 Unicode characters Both encode ASCII exactly the same way
- encoding - What is the difference between UTF-8 and Unicode? - Stack . . .
35 UTF-8 is an encoding scheme for Unicode text It is becoming the best supported and best known text encoding for Unicode text in many contexts, especially the web, and is the text encoding used by default in JSON and XML Unicode is a broad-scoped standard which defines over 149,000 characters and allocates each a numerical code (a code point)
