UTF-8 (8-bit Unicode Transformation Format) is a lossless, variable-length character encoding for Unicode created by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike. It uses groups of bytes to represent the Unicode standard for the alphabets of many of the world's languages. UTF-8 is especially useful for transmission over 8-bit Electronic Mail systems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8
In computing, Unicode provides an international standard which has the goal of providing the means to encode the text of every document people want to store on computers. This includes all scripts in active use today, many scripts known only by scholars, and symbols which do not strictly represent scripts, like mathematical, linguistic and APL symbols. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : >Hi, > >In Europe we have lots of languages.
