Explanation
Utf-8 is one of the standard ways of encoding the Unicode character set.
- When we specify "utf-8" as the character encoding, we are referring to Unicode as the character set.
- The W3C recommends Unicode for the character set of web-pages today.
Unicode is a universal and comprehensive set (or repertoire). It contains the characters of the human languages that are found in the internet. It also contains other characters, such as punctuation marks and mathematical operators and many more, as well.
