Hi,
UTF-8 is 8 bit code.
Unicode ist 16 and it includes all the chars we know today over all the
world.
If you want to write arabic , ascii, german, French and etc... in your db.
Use unicode. the UTF-8 do not include all these chars in one
That information is incorrect. UTF8 supports characters requiring up to
6bytes of "value". My application currently and concurrently supports
Greek, French, English, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Polish,
Czech, German, and Hungarian using UTF-8. None of those are RTL,
though, which is what I was really curious about.
Technically speaking, Unicode is a mapping of every known character
(vague term but humor me) to an integer. UTF-8, UTF-32, UTF-16 maps
those integers into 8bit, 32bit, and 16bit encodings. Typically, when
people say "Use Unicode" they mean the original UTF16 encoding. That
encoding does not fully support East Asian languages, amongst other
problems.
