- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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?
- 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
- Choosing applying a character encoding
In this context, that key is called a character encoding This article offers simple advice on which character encoding to use for your content, and how to apply it, ie how to actually produce a document in that encoding If you need to better understand what characters and character encodings are, see the article Character encodings for
- 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
- Difference between encoding and encryption - Stack Overflow
An encoding algorithm that is kept secret is a form of encryption, but quite vulnerable (it takes skill and time to devise any kind of encryption, and by definition you can't have someone else create such an encoding algorithm for you - or you would have to kill them)
