NO.

All UTF's are able to encode *E0XACTLY* the same set of characters.

That's the whole point of Unicode. The UTF's specify the nit-picky

details about how to actually represent Unicode text in bytes, but the

Unicode text itself is a stream of characters, and it is not affected

by the encoding method used.

OK, then i don't need to use UTF-16 for anciant chinese.

may be the question of the word length is a question of speed with a given computer, i thought morden computesr are able to address at the byte level even if the word in RAM is a mutibyte one ?

I've studied computer internal on (before) mid-seventennth ;-)

In the case of UTF32 there are other possibilities, wherein the bytes

within a short word are arranged in big-endian order while the short

words within a long word are arranged in little-endian order, or

vice-versa; these don't have short names and are of mostly

historical/theoretical interest these days.

utf-8 is only usefull because of indianness then ...

thanks for your time and your acurate answer.
