UTF
[Unicode transformation format]
any sequential data representation of Unicode text.
UTF-8
a standard representation of Unicode text as a byte stream, using 8-bit code units. In UTF-8, ASCII characters have the same representation that the have in ASCII, and other characters are represented in sequences of 2 to 6 bytes without using byte values that are not used in ASCII.
UTF-16
1. a standard representation of Unicode text as a sequence of 16-bit code units. In UTF-16, all commonly used characters are encoded in a single 16-bit code unit, and additional characters are represented in multiple 16-bit code units.
2. an encoding scheme for UTF-16 that represents each 16-bit code unit in 2 bytes in big-endian sequence (with the most significant byte first) unless a byte order mark indicates otherwise.
UTF-16BE
a standard encoding scheme for UTF-16 that represents each 16-bit code unit in 2 bytes in big-endian sequence (with the most significant byte first).
UTF-16LE
a standard encoding scheme for UTF-16 that represents each 16-bit code unit in 2 bytes in little-endian sequence (with the least significant byte first).
