+ | # 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. | ||
