Common examples of character encoding systems include Morse code, the Baudot code, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange ( ASCII ) and Unicode.

* Unicode Collation Algorithm: Unicode Technical Standard # 10

The Cirth are not yet part of the Unicode Standard.

According to The Unicode Standard,

According to The Unicode Standard, plain text has two main properties in regard to rich text:

* « The Unicode Standard encodes plain text .»

* « The distinction between plain text and other forms of data in the same data stream is the function of a higher-level protocol and is not specified by the Unicode Standard itself .».

Developed in conjunction with the Universal Character Set standard and published in book form as The Unicode Standard, the latest version of Unicode consists of a repertoire of more than 110, 000 characters covering 100 scripts, a set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding methodology and set of standard character encodings, an enumeration of character properties such as upper and lower case, a set of reference data computer files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalization, decomposition, collation, rendering, and bidirectional display order ( for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic and Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts ).

UTF-8 encodes each of the 1, 112, 064 code points in the Unicode character set using one to four 8-bit bytes ( termed " octets " in the Unicode Standard ).

Although their Adobe glyph names are commas, their names in the Unicode Standard are " g ", " k ", " l ", " n ", and " r " with a cedilla.

* CJK Compatibility excerpt from The Unicode Standard, Version 4. 1.

The ISO / IEC 10646 ( Unicode ) International Standard defines character, or abstract character as " a member of a set of elements used for the organisation, control, or representation of data ".

Hieroglyphs themselves were added to the Unicode Standard in October, 2009 with the release of version 5. 2.

The rod of Asclepius has a representation on the Miscellaneous Symbols table of the Unicode Standard at U + 2695 ().

* The Unicode Standard 5. 0. 0, chapter 3-formally defines UTF-32 in § 3. 10, D99-D101

* Unicode Standard Annex # 19-formally defined UTF-32 for Unicode 3. x ( March 2001 ; last updated March 2002 )

Rules for Han unification are given in the East Asian Scripts chapter of the various versions of the Unicode Standard ( Chapter 12 in Unicode 6. 0 ).

The organization was founded to develop, extend, and promote the use of the Unicode Standard.

Neither is UTF-7 a Unicode Standard.

The local-part of the email address may use any of these ASCII characters RFC 5322 Section 3. 2. 3, RFC 6531 permits Unicode beyond the ASCII range:

The byte order mark ( BOM ) is a Unicode character used to signal the endianness ( byte order ) of a text file or stream.

Beyond its specific use as a byte-order indicator, the BOM character may also indicate which of the several Unicode representations the text is encoded in.

If the BOM character appears in the middle of a data stream, Unicode says it should be interpreted as a " zero-width non-breaking space " ( essentially a null character ).

A BOM also complicates migration toward Unicode.

Many programs without Unicode support can accept UTF-8 bytes internally but cannot handle a BOM at the start.

Clause D98 of conformance ( section 3. 10 ) of the Unicode standard states, " The UTF-16 encoding scheme may or may not begin with a BOM.

* RapidCRC Unicode-RapidCRC with Unicode support ( v0. 3. 4 as of 05 / 27 / 2012 supports UTF-8 with or without BOM and UTF-16 LE )

* Unicode support ( as of version 2. 8. 0, UTF-8 files are correctly read without a BOM ).

There are many other encodings, which represent each character by a byte ( usually referred as code pages ), integer code point ( Unicode ) or a byte sequence ( UTF-8 ).

If the character encoding for a web page is chosen appropriately then HTML character references are usually only required for a markup delimiting characters mentioned above, and for a few special characters ( or not at all if a native Unicode encoding like UTF-8 is used ).

* Cygwin 1. 7 introduced comprehensive support for POSIX locales and many character encodings, whereby the UTF-8 Unicode encoding became the default.

* Unicode support ( however prior to 5. 5. 3 UTF-8 and UCS-2 encoded strings are limited to the BMP, in 5. 5. 3 and later use utf8mb4 for full unicode support )

* Unicode, UTF-8, Unicode fonts.

This encoding may either be a Unicode Transformation Format, like UTF-8, that can directly encode any Unicode character, or a legacy encoding, like Windows-1252, that cannot.

UTF-8 ( UCS Transformation Format8-bit ) is a variable-width encoding that can represent every character in the Unicode character set.

However, it did see some use as a character set for terminal or textual programs under Linux when the Euro sign was needed, but the use of full UTF-8 ( Unicode ) was not practical.

Formatted text, justification, and even the inclusion of graphics and other multimedia elements are supported by TextEdit, as well as the ability to read and write to different character encodings, including Unicode ( UTF-8 and UTF-16 ).

8-bit clean describes a computer system that correctly handles 8-bit character encodings, such as the ISO 8859 series and the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode.

Two examples of popular encodings are ASCII and the UTF-8 encoding for Unicode.

The economic effect of the telephone system is large: It effectively forced character systems with more than 8-bits ( e. g. Unicode ) back into an 8-bit form ( e. g. UTF-8 ), and most commercially important computers for the last forty years have used internal word sizes that are multiples of 8 bits.

In the Windows NT-based versions of Windows, Notepad can edit traditional 8-bit text files as well as Unicode text files ( both UTF-8 and UTF-16, and in case of UTF-16, both little-endian and big-endian ).

This site has the ability to process text in Unicode UTF-8 encoding.

Around 2004, after most computer software became compatible with Unicode UTF-8 or UTF-16 systems, use of Greeklish was strongly discourraged in many Greek online Web discussion boards ( forums ) where Greeklish was in use before.

* 65001 — UTF-8 Unicode

Although there are multiple character encodings available for Unicode, the most common is UTF-8, which has the advantage of being backwards-compatible with ASCII: that is, every ASCII text file is also a UTF-8 text file with identical meaning.

According to Unicode Microsoft protocol for txt files use UTF-8.
