t. e. UTF-8 is a character encoding standard used for electronic communication. Defined by the Unicode Standard, the name is derived from Unicode Transformation Format – 8-bit. [1] Almost every web page is stored in UTF-8. UTF-8 is capable of encoding all 1,112,064 [2] valid Unicode code points using a variable-width encoding of one to four ...
Byte order mark. The byte-order mark (BOM) is a particular usage of the special Unicode character code, U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, whose appearance as a magic number at the start of a text stream can signal several things to a program reading the text: [1] which Unicode character encoding is used. BOM use is optional.
Python, for example, uses the label MS-Kanji (or cp932) for Windows-932 and the label Shift_JIS (or sjis) for JIS X 0208-defined Shift JIS, without recognising the Windows-31J label. [ 12 ] In Japanese editions of Windows, this code page is referred to as "ANSI" , since it is the operating system's default 8-bit encoding, even though ANSI was ...
Comparison of Unicode encodings. This article compares Unicode encodings in two types of environments: 8-bit clean environments, and environments that forbid the use of byte values with the high bit set. Originally, such prohibitions allowed for links that used only seven data bits, but they remain in some standards and so some standard ...
A binary-to-text encoding is encoding of data in plain text. More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of printable characters. These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the communication channel does not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean. PGP documentation (RFC 4880) uses the ...
Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using digital computers. [1] The numerical values that make up a character encoding are known as "code points" and collectively comprise a "code space", a ...
Base64. In computer programming, Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that transforms binary data into a sequence of printable characters, limited to a set of 64 unique characters. More specifically, the source binary data is taken 6 bits at a time, then this group of 6 bits is mapped to one of 64 unique characters.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, pronounced / ˈdʒeɪsən / or / ˈdʒeɪˌsɒn /) is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and arrays (or other serializable values).
