In the context of universal character encoding standard, UTF stands for Unicode Transformation Format. UTF is a mapping between the Unicode code points (numerical representations of characters) and sequences of bytes.

– Unicode is a standard for encoding, representing, and handling text expressed in most of the world’s writing systems.
– UTF encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 are variable-length encoding schemes for Unicode.

– UTF-8 is the most common encoding used on the web and for general-purpose text files because it is backward-compatible with ASCII and efficient for commonly used characters.
– UTF-16 uses 16-bit code units and is used by systems like Windows and Java.
– UTF-32 uses a fixed 32-bit code unit for every character.
