Unicode Character Encoding

2008-01-10

What is UTF-8 and why is it important?

Unicode is a character set supported across many commonly used software applications and operating systems. For example, many popular web browser, e-mail, and word processing applications support Unicode.

Operating systems that support Unicode include Solaris Operating Environment, Linux, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Apple’s Mac OS X.

Applications that support Unicode are often capable of displaying multiple languages and scripts within the same document. In a multilingual office or business setting, Unicode’s importance as a universal character set cannot be overlooked.
