Although the current version of Python requires an option to open() to read/write UTF-8, [45] plans exist to make UTF-8 I/O the default in Python 3.15. [46] C++23 adopts UTF-8 as the only portable source code file format. [47] Backwards compatibility is a serious impediment to changing code and APIs using UTF-16 to use UTF-8, but this is happening.
HTML and XML provide ways to reference Unicode characters when the characters themselves either cannot or should not be used. A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name.
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.
Support for ID3v2.3 (ISO-8859-1 and UTF-16) and ID3v2.4 with UTF-8; Automated Mass Tagging of multiple albums including the ability to enrich existing metadata using one or more metadata sources in a single operation; Single Album and Mass Album Tagging results can be accepted/edited/rejected at track and/or field level
So newer software systems are starting to use UTF-8. The default string primitive used in newer programing languages, such as Go, [18] Julia, Rust and Swift 5, [19] assume UTF-8 encoding. PyPy also uses UTF-8 for its strings, [20] and Python is looking into storing all strings with UTF-8. [21] Microsoft now recommends the use of UTF-8 for ...
The configuration is typically stored in a UTF-8 encoded text file: .editorconfig. Some tools allow saving their style preferences as an EditorConfig file. [8] Each line: May be blank (only Whitespace characters; A comment that begins with ; or # A section header, which starts with a square bracket [, and ends with a square bracket ].
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". [74] 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.
ICU was released as an open-source project in 1999 under the name IBM Classes for Unicode. It was later renamed to International Components For Unicode. [ 15 ] In May 2016, the ICU project joined the Unicode consortium as technical committee ICU-TC , and the library sources are now distributed under the Unicode license.
