Aug 13, 2011 · Latin-1 encodes just the first 256 code points of the Unicode character set, whereas UTF-8 can be used to encode all code points. At physical encoding level, only codepoints 0 - 127 get encoded identically; code points 128 - 255 differ by becoming 2-byte sequence with UTF-8 whereas they are single bytes with Latin-1.

First, Unicode doesn't contain "every character from every language", although it sure does try. Unicode itself is a mapping, it defines codepoints and a codepoint is a number, associated with usually a character. I say usually because there are concepts like combining characters. You may be familiar with things like accents, or umlauts.

Raymond Chen explains it here: TEXT vs. _TEXT vs. _T, and UNICODE vs. _UNICODE: The plain versions without the underscore affect the character set the Windows header files treat as default. So if you define UNICODE, then GetWindowText will map to GetWindowTextW instead of GetWindowTextA, for example.

Feb 18, 2022 · Unicode is a standard with the goal to cover all possible characters in the world (can hold up to 1,114,112 characters, meaning 21 bits/character maximum. Current Unicode 8.0 specifies 120,737 characters in total, and that's all). The main difference is that an ASCII character can fit to a byte (eight bits), but most Unicode characters cannot.

May 13, 2015 · UTF-32 where each Unicode code point is stored in a 32-bit integer; UTF-16 where many Unicode code points are stored in a single 16-bit integer, but some need two 16-bit integers (so it needs 2 or 4 bytes per Unicode code point). UTF-8 where Unicode code points can require 1, 2, 3 or 4 bytes to store a single Unicode code point.

Aug 3, 2012 · Also (in Python 2.6 at least), ints cannot be coerced using unicode(int_value, 'latin-1'), even though unicode(int_value) works. @Glenn Maynard, printing the results involves a decode, explicitly defined or not. I had to use t.get_string().encode('latin-1') Yeah, I'm looking forward to py3k's widespread adoption, so that all strings are Unicode ...

May 24, 2016 · SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape I have tried to replace the \ with \\ or with / and I've tried to put an r before "C.. , but all these things didn't work.

Jan 23, 2014 · If it requires more bytes such as unicode then it would allow for more character options, which unicode of course requires. Just like how 1 byte can hold 256 "options" you can store any single number between 0 and 255 in 1 byte as a single number, but that doesn't mean that you get 255 different numbers. –

May 26, 2020 · For example, before Unicode was invented, localized versions of Windows all used different code pages, in which the basic ASCII set was extended with some additional characters. Now, of course, everything is (or should be) fully Unicode. Detailed Unicode information for that character (vulgar fraction one half) can be found here.
