UTF-8 - character encoding

Unicode supports almost all existing character sets. The best form of Unicode character set encoding is UTF-8 encoding. It implements compatibility with ASCII, resistance to data distortion, efficiency and ease of processing. But first things first.

Coding forms

Computers operate with numbers not just as abstract mathematical objects, but as combinations of fixed-size information storage and processing units — bytes and 32-bit words. The encoding standard should take this into account when determining how characters are represented by numbers.
