Question

What is the most common unicode encoding when moving data between systems?

Answer 1

Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text expressed in most of the world's wrighting system. The latest version contains a repertoire of 136,755 characters covering 139 modern and historic scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets. The Unicode Standard is maintained in conjunction with ICE 10646, and both are code-for-code identical.
