 +# UTF
 +
 +Unicode Transformation Format - UTF - is a character [encoding](../​e/​encoding) that maps Unicode code points (characters) to code values.
 +
 +UTF encoding is available in multiple versions. The two most common types are UTF-8 and UTF-16. ​
 +
 +UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding using up to 8-bit code units. It is backward compatible with [ASCII](../​a/​ascii).
 +
 +UTF-16 is also variable-length using one or two 16-bit code units.
