Frequently Asked Questions

What is Unicode?

Unicode is a universal character encoding standard assigning a unique code point to every character in every language.

What is the difference between Unicode and UTF-8?

Unicode assigns code points (e.g. U+0041 for A). UTF-8 is an encoding that represents those code points as 1-4 bytes.

Why does the same character look different on different devices?

Emoji and special characters are rendered by the OS font and rendering engine. The same Unicode code point looks completely different on Apple, Google, and Microsoft platforms. Using UTF-8 encoding resolves most cross-platform text encoding issues — always specify UTF-8 as your document and database encoding.

What is the difference between Unicode, UTF-8, and UTF-16?

Unicode is a character set standard that defines code points for over 1 million characters (U+0000 to U+10FFFF). UTF-8 and UTF-16 are different encoding schemes that implement Unicode. UTF-8: variable-length, 1 byte for ASCII, 3 bytes for CJK, backward compatible with ASCII — the web standard. UTF-16: variable-length, 2 bytes for the basic plane, used internally by JavaScript and Java. UTF-32: fixed 4 bytes per character, simple but space-wasteful.
