Unicode guide
What is Unicode?
Unicode is a standard that assigns code points to characters, symbols and emojis from different writing systems.
Unicode and UTF-8
Unicode identifies the character; UTF-8 defines how it is encoded as bytes. For example, ñ is U+00F1 and C3 B1 in UTF-8.
Escapes and HTML entities
The \uXXXX and ñ notations represent characters in code, data formats and HTML.
