UTF-16 - Wikipedia
WebUTF-16 ( 16-bit Unicode Transformation Format) is a character encoding capable of encoding all 1,112,064 valid code points of Unicode (in fact this number of code points is dictated by the design of UTF-16). The encoding is variable-length, as code points are encoded with one or two 16-bit code units.
What are Unicode, UTF-8, and UTF-16? - Stack Overflow
WebUTF-8 uses one to four units of eight bits, and UTF-16 uses one or two units of 16 bits, to cover the entire Unicode of 21 bits maximum. Units use prefixes so that character boundaries can be spotted, and more units mean more prefixes that occupy bits.
FAQ - UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 & BOM - Unicode
WebUTF-16 FAQ. Q: What is UTF-16? UTF-16 uses a single 16-bit code unit to encode over 60,000 of the most common characters in Unicode, and a pair of 16-bit code units, called surrogates, to encode the remainder of about 1 million characters in Unicode.
unicode - UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 - Stack Overflow
WebJan 4, 2017 · UTF-8/16/32 are simply different ways to encode this. In brief, UTF-32 uses 32-bit values for each character. That allows them to use a fixed-width code for every character. UTF-16 uses 16-bit by default, but that only gives you 65k possible characters, which is nowhere near enough for the full Unicode set.

WebMar 19, 2017 · 317. I believe there are a lot of good articles about this around the Web, but here is a short summary. Both UTF-8 and UTF-16 are variable length encodings. However, in UTF-8 a character may occupy a minimum of 8 bits, while in UTF-16 character length starts with 16 bits. Main UTF-8 pros:
UTN #12: UTF-16 for Processing - Unicode
WebJan 13, 2004 · Summary. This document attempts to make the case that it is advantageous to use UTF-16 (or 16-bit Unicode strings) for text processing. It is most important to use Unicode rather than older approaches to text encoding, but beyond that it simplifies software development even further to use the same internal form for text representation everywhere.
RFC 2781 - UTF-16, an encoding of ISO 10646 - IETF Datatracker
WebUTF-16, the object of this specification, is one of the standard ways of encoding Unicode character data; it has the characteristics of encoding all currently defined characters (in plane 0, the BMP) in exactly two octets and of being able to encode all other characters likely to be defined (the next 16 planes) in exactly four octets.
