Frequently asked questions
- What is Unicode?
- Unicode is a unified character encoding standard that provides unique numbers for all characters in the world, supporting multilingual text representation. It's the foundation of text processing in modern software development.
- What's the difference between \u and U+ formats?
- They are just different notation styles: \uXXXX is JavaScript/programming style, U+XXXX is standard Unicode notation. They represent the same Unicode code points.
- What Unicode ranges are supported?
- Supports all characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP, U+0000 to U+FFFF), including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, emoji, and other commonly used characters.
- Why does garbled text appear?
- Garbled text usually results from encoding and decoding using different character sets. Ensuring both sender and receiver use UTF-8 can prevent most encoding issues.
- How to handle emoji?
- Emoji are usually in supplementary planes and require surrogate pairs, represented as \uD83D\uDE00 style double sequences.
