Newer editions of ISO/IEC 8859 express characters in terms of their Unicode/UCS names and the U+nnnn notation, effectively causing each part of ISO/IEC 8859 to be a Unicode/UCS character encoding scheme that maps a very small subset of the UCS to single 8-bit bytes.

404. UTF-8 is a multibyte encoding that can represent any Unicode character. ISO 8859-1 is a single-byte encoding that can represent the first 256 Unicode characters. Both encode ASCII exactly the same way. answered Aug 13, 2011 at 5:26.

The Universal Coded Character Set (UCS, Unicode) is a standard set of characters defined by the international standard ISO/IEC 10646, Information technology — Universal Coded Character Set (UCS) (plus amendments to that standard), which is the basis of many character encodings, improving as characters from previously unrepresented typing systems are added.

Efficiency. UTF-8 requires 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits (one to four bytes) to encode a Unicode character, UTF-16 requires either 16 or 32 bits to encode a character, and UTF-32 always requires 32 bits to encode a character. The first 128 Unicode code points, U+0000 to U+007F, used for the C0 Controls and Basic Latin characters and which correspond one ...
Sep 23, 2020 · For more about character encoding, see the following resources: For some examples of ISO-8859 character sets, see ISO/IEC 8859 on Wikipedia. To understand common encoding errors and practice character encoding in a web browser, see Unicode, UTF8 & Character Sets: The Ultimate Guide on Smashing Magazine.
Jul 22, 2016 · When Unicode was created, it was designed to encompass (nearly) all characters in widely-used character sets, and hence it recast the byte stream defined by the ISO-8859-1 coded character set as an encoding of the wider Universal Character Set. So if you are working in a modern Unicode environment you would consider ISO-8859-1 to be an encoding ...
The 16 bit scheme requires twice the size needed for ISO-8859-1. To mitigate this issue a UCS transformation called UTF-8 is created. In this encoding, ASCII characters have the same transformation so that a UTF-8 encoded English document is exactly the same as the document encoded in ASCII. Unlike the other encodings, UTF-8 is variable length.
