| | Character encoding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, there are also compound character encoding schemes, which use escape sequences to switch between several simple schemes (such as ISO 2022), and compressing schemes, which try to minimise the number of bytes used per code unit (such as SCSU, BOCU, and Punycode). | | | With Unicode in most cases a simple character encoding scheme is used, simply specifying if the bytes for each integer should be in big-endian or little-endian order (even this isn't needed with UTF-8). | | | A character encoding form (CEF) specifies the conversion of the integer code into a series of fixed size integer code values that facilitate storage in a system that uses fixed bit-widths (e.g. |

| | UTR#17: Character Encoding Model |
| | Character encoding schemes are relevant to the issue of cross-platform persistent data involving code units wider than a byte, where byte-swapping may be required to put data into the byte polarity canonical for a particular platform. | | | When an encoding form specifies that the integers that are being encoded are to be serialized as sequences of bytes, there are often constraints placed on the particular values that those bytes may have. | | | As encoding schemes, UTF-16 and UTF-32 refer to serialized bytes, for example the serialized bytes for streaming data or in files; they may have either byte orientation, and a single BOM may be present at the start of the data. |

| | Chinese character encoding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | There is however no mandated connection between the encoding system and the font used to display the characters; font and encoding are usually tied together for practical reasons. | | | One other issue is that many of the encoding systems are missing characters. | | | An example of the problem is the Taiwanese politician Wang Jian-Hsuan whose second given name is not in some character systems. |

| | In error2.xml I've a file encoded as UTF-8 and a text encoding of UTF-16, since UTF-16 must always be two bytes, the parser known forehand that something is wrong with the encoding, the error3.xml is the same problem the other way around. | | | A parser found a character on your file that is not according the encoding declaration or the BOM specified for that file. | | | Another frequent problem with encoding, are the objects/interfaces, and the way they handle character encoding. |

| | HTML Document Representation |
| | A user agent may not be able to render all characters in a document meaningfully, for instance, because the user agent lacks a suitable font, a character has a value that may not be expressed in the user agent's internal character encoding, etc. | | | The document character set, however, does not suffice to allow user agents to correctly interpret HTML documents as they are typically exchanged -- encoded as a sequence of bytes in a file or during a network transmission. | | | User agents must also know the specific character encoding that was used to transform the document character stream into a byte stream. |

| | The skew.org XML Tutorial |
| | Encoding forms that produce 7-bit or 8-bit code value sequences don't need additional processing, so UTF-8, for example, can be considered to be both a character encoding form and a character encoding scheme. | | | A character's number is abstract to computers because there are many different ways of representing numbers in an information processing architecture. | | | If one encoded document is pasted into the middle of another that has a different encoding, the resulting byte sequence could represent corrupted data or could even be unparsable. |

| | Php I18n Charsets - Web Application Component Toolkit |
| | The basic problem PHP has with character encoding is it has a very simple idea of what the notion of a character is: that one character equals one byte. | | | For example, in UTF-8, an encoding of Unicode, the character “á” (225) is encoded as two bytes: 0xC3 and 0xA1. | | | UTF-8 is a multibyte 8-bit encoding in which each Unicode scalar value is mapped to a sequence of one to four bytes. |

| | Unicode Transformation Formats |
| | UTF-8 is a variable-length multibyte encoding which means that you cannot calculate the number of characters from the mere number of bytes and vice versa for memory allocation and that you have to allocate oversized buffers or parse and keep counters. | | | The binary representation of the character's integer value is thus simply spread across the bytes and the number of high bits set in the lead byte announces the number of bytes in the multibyte sequence: | | | As the first and second byte of a double-byte character both use the same {=A1..=FE} range of values, you cannot easily tell the one from the other and recognize the character boundaries in the middle of a long stretch of 8bit bytes. |

| | Indeed, the simplest solution is to take the code point that defines a character, split it up into two bytes, and write the two bytes to the file. | | | In UTF-8, the number of bytes used to write a character to a file depends on the Unicode code point. | | | Strict ASCII characters are encoded into 1 byte, which makes UTF-8 completely backward compatible with ASCII. |
