What is C2 in UTF-8?

What is C2 in UTF-8?

=C2=A0 represents the bytes C2 A0. Since this is UTF-8, it translates to U+00A0, which is the Unicode for non-breaking space.

What character is C2?

Character
Character name	NO-BREAK SPACE
Hex code point	00A0
Decimal code point	160
Hex UTF-8 bytes	C2 A0

Is Japan a UTF-8?

Character encodings. There are several standard methods to encode Japanese characters for use on a computer, including JIS, Shift-JIS, EUC, and Unicode. As of 2017, the share of UTF-8 traffic on the Internet has expanded to over 90 % worldwide, and only 1.2% was for using Shift-JIS and EUC.

How are the characters encoded in UTF 8?

However, the characters U+0080 to U+00FF are encoded differently in the two encodings. ISO-8859-1 assigns each of these characters a single byte from 80 to FF. UTF-8 encodes the same characters as two-byte sequences C2 80 to C3 BF.

Which is the upper half of UTF-8 code units?

The following table summarizes usage of UTF-8 code units (individual bytes or octets) in a code page format. The upper half ( 0_ to 7_) is for bytes used only in single-byte codes, so it looks like a normal code page; the lower half is for continuation bytes ( 8_ to B_) and leading bytes ( C_ to F_ ), and is explained further in the legend below.

Is the sequence of 7 bit bytes UTF-8 or ASCII?

A sequence of 7-bit bytes is both valid ASCII and valid UTF-8, and under either interpretation represents the same sequence of characters. Therefore, the 7-bit bytes in a UTF-8 stream represent all and only the ASCII characters in the stream.

Why was UTF-8 made for backwards compatibility?

Backward compatibility: Backwards compatibility with ASCII and the enormous amount of software designed to process ASCII-encoded text was the main driving force behind the design of UTF-8. In UTF-8, single bytes with values in the range of 0 to 127 map directly to Unicode code points in the ASCII range.
