About Text Encodings
- UTF-8: Variable-width encoding for any Unicode character. Most common on the web.
- UTF-16: 16-bit code units. Common in Windows and Java.
- ISO-8859-1: Western European single-byte encoding (256 characters).
- Windows-1252: Microsoft extension of ISO-8859-1.
- ASCII: 7-bit basic Latin and control codes.
BOM (Byte Order Mark) is a special marker at the start of UTF-16 text indicating little-endian (LE) or big-endian (BE) byte order.
