(sorry, wrong place, this post should go to computer and internet)
Can anyone give me a word of advice or basic explanation?
In IE Encodings:
European ISO (Unicode)
Unicode (UTF-8 )
Western European (Windows)
...
I am confused with these encoding formats (First are Encoding similar to character sets like Morse, Baudot or ASCII?)
Then when I save a document in mix language (French/German, English/Japanese) or if I publish it on the internet, I usually chose Unicode (to preserve the accents). Is there a difference between Unicode and UTF-8 (I can see both options in notepad.exe) and what is the particular difference in a document saved in both format?
On MS Office US version, the default encoding is Western European (Windows). So in short what the best encoding to save/publish document in mix languages in Windows and to write emails? Unicode, UTF-8, ANSI.
Thanks

Unicode or UT-F8? Does that make a difference when I save a document (.txt or .html) in mix language?nikos wrote:for mixed languages better use full unicode
I found this on Wikipedia but I am not advanced...
[...]Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. The most commonly used encodings are UTF-8[...]
