Starts with 11? This byte is the first byte of a character with a number that was big enough to need multiple bytes.
Starts with a 0? This byte is a character by itself, decode it like you would have if it were ASCII. So when the computer gets a string of bytes that it's told are UTF-8 text, it looks at each byte in turn: These multi-byte characters are recognizable by having the first byte of the sequence start with 11, and subsequent bytes starting with 10. The first 127 characters from unicode are in the same order as the older ASCII standard, and UTF-8 uses a single 8-bit byte to represent each of these characters: all they did was take the 7-bits that would have represented the character in ASCII, and said, "make sure that these bits are always preceded by a zero".įor Unicode characters numbered 128 and on up, you need more than one byte to encode them.
#Unicode for a with umlaut how to#
UTF-8 is a character encoding that defines how to represent the characters in the Unicode set using a variable number of bytes depending on where the character falls in the set. One of the more popular ways of implementing Unicode is UTF-8, which is somewhat backwards compatible with ASCII. It doesn't go into detail about how to implement those characters as data. Because UTF‑8 has no byte order, adding a UTF‑8 BOM is optional. A BOM is 2 to 4 bytes at the beginning of a text file that identifies a file as Unicode, and if so, the byte order of the following bytes. Include Unicode Signature (BOM): Includes a Byte Order Mark (BOM) in the document.For more information on Unicode Normalization and the specific forms that can be used, see the Unicode website at That is, all “ë” characters in a document are saved as single “e‑umlaut” or as “e” + “combining umlaut,” and not as both forms in one document. Normalization is the process of making sure all characters that can be saved in different forms are all saved using the same from. For example, “ë” (e‑umlaut) can be represented as a single character, “e‑umlaut,” or as two characters, “regular Latin e” + “combining umlaut.” A Unicode combining character is one that gets used with the previous character, so the umlaut would appear above the “Latin e.” Both forms result in the same visual typography, but what is saved in the file is different for each form. In Unicode, some characters are visually similar but can be stored within the document in different ways. Adobe provides the other three Unicode Normalization Forms for completeness. The most important is Normalization Form C because it’s the most common form used in the Character Model for the World Wide Web. There are four Unicode Normalization Forms. Unicode Normalization Form: Enabled only if you select UTF‑8 as a document encoding.Reload: Converts the existing document, or reopens it using the new encoding.For more information on character entities, see
If you select another document encoding, entity encoding may be necessary to represent certain characters. If you select Unicode (UTF‑8) as the document encoding, entity encoding is not necessary because UTF‑8 can safely represent all characters. Encoding: Specifies the encoding used for characters in the document.For example, you can make an HTML document XHTML-compliant by selecting XHTML 1.0 Transitional or XHTML 1.0 Strict from the pop‑up menu. Document Type (DTD): Specifies a document type definition.Title: Specifies the page title that appears in the title bar of the Document window and most browser windows.From the Page Properties panel, select Title/Encoding.
