ICU has historically used UTF-16, and still does only for Java; while for C/C++ UTF-8 is supported, [5] [6] including the correct handling of "illegal UTF-8". [7] ICU 73.2 has improved significant changes for GB18030-2022 compliance support, i.e. for Chinese (that updated Chinese GB18030 Unicode Transformation Format standard is slightly ...
Linebreak options such as (*LF) documented above; backslash-R options such as (*BSR_ANYCRLF) documented above; Unicode Character Properties option (*UCP) documented above; (*UTF8) option documented as follows: if PCRE2 has been compiled with UTF support, the (*UTF) option at the beginning of a pattern can be used instead of setting an external ...
In Unicode, the implicit directional mark characters are encoded at U+061C ARABIC LETTER MARK, U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK (‎) and U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK (‏). In UTF-8 these are D8 9C, E2 80 8E and E2 80 8F respectively. Usage is prescribed in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. [1]
The default string primitive in Go, [50] Julia, Rust, Swift (since version 5), [51] and PyPy [52] uses UTF-8 internally in all cases. Python (since version 3.3) uses UTF-8 internally for Python C API extensions [53] [54] and sometimes for strings [53] [55] and a future version of Python is planned to store strings as UTF-8 by default.
Unicode 9.0 is now supported; Perl can now do default collation in UTF-8 locales on platforms that support it; 5.24.0 May 8, 2016 Full release notes: Unicode 8.0 is now supported. New line break boundary in regular expressions; Extended Bracketed Character Classes work in UTF-8 locales; More explicit definitions for integer shifting
Python 3.15 will "Make UTF-8 mode default", [70] the mode exists in all current Python versions, but currently needs to be opted into. UTF-8 is already used, by default, on Windows (and elsewhere), for most things, but e.g. to open files it's not and enabling also makes code fully cross-platform, i.e. use UTF-8 for everything on all platforms.
The same character converted to UTF-8 becomes the byte sequence EF BB BF. The Unicode Standard allows the BOM "can serve as a signature for UTF-8 encoded text where the character set is unmarked". [76] Some software developers have adopted it for other encodings, including UTF-8, in an attempt to distinguish UTF-8 from local 8-bit code pages.
Unicode equivalence is the specification by the Unicode character encoding standard that some sequences of code points represent essentially the same character. This feature was introduced in the standard to allow compatibility with pre-existing standard character sets , which often included similar or identical characters.
