In UTF-8 mode, two additional characters are recognized as line breaks with (*ANY): LS (line separator, U+2028), PS (paragraph separator, U+2029). On Windows, in non-Unicode data, some of the ANY linebreak characters have other meanings.
Although the current version of Python requires an option to open() to read/write UTF-8, [46] plans exist to make UTF-8 I/O the default in Python 3.15. [47] C++23 adopts UTF-8 as the only portable source code file format. [48] Backwards compatibility is a serious impediment to changing code and APIs using UTF-16 to use UTF-8, but this is happening.
Since Python 3.0, the default character set is UTF-8 both for source code and the interpreter. In UTF-8, unicode strings are handled like traditional byte strings. In UTF-8, unicode strings are handled like traditional byte strings.

Ruby: ruby-doc.org: GNU Library General Public License: Ruby 1.8, Ruby 1.9, and Ruby 2.0 and later versions use different engines; Ruby 1.9 integrates Oniguruma, Ruby 2.0 and later integrate Onigmo, a fork from ...
Unicode, in the form of UTF-8, has been the most common encoding for the World Wide Web since 2008. [76] It has near-universal adoption, and much of the non-UTF-8 content is found in other Unicode encodings, e.g. UTF-16. As of 2024, UTF-8 accounts for on average 98.3% of all web pages (and 983 of the top 1,000 highest-ranked web pages). [77]
After Taligent became part of IBM in early 1996, Sun Microsystems decided that the new Java language should have better support for internationalization. Since Taligent had experience with such technologies and were close geographically, their Text and International group were asked to contribute the international classes to the Java Development Kit as part of the JDK 1.1 internationalization ...
Python 2 also distinguishes two types of strings: 8-bit ASCII ("bytes") strings (the default), explicitly indicated with a b or B prefix, and Unicode strings, indicated with a u or U prefix. [25] while in Python 3 strings are Unicode by default and bytes are a separate bytes type that when initialized with quotes must be prefixed with a b.
The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, [4] but does not require or recommend its use. [5] UTF-8 always has the same byte order, [6] so its only use in UTF-8 is to signal at the start that the text stream is encoded in UTF-8, or that it was converted to UTF-8 from a stream that contained an optional BOM. The standard also does not ...
