UTF8Encoding

Remarks

UTF-8 is an encoding scheme that is fully compatible with the existing ASCII set of characters (0-127). It also supports Unicode characters, including the UTF-16 character set.

UTF-8 is useful because it will have a size ratio of 1:1 for pure ASCII characters. The ratio will increase during the encoding for characters outside ASCII.

Additional information about UTF-8 encoding scheme can be found at "http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2279.html".
