Question: What are the most commonly used encodings of Unicode?

Answer: UTF-8, UTF-16 and the now-obsolete UCS-2

Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. <hl> The most commonly used encodings are UTF-8, UTF-16 and the now-obsolete UCS-2 . <hl> UTF-8 uses one byte for any ASCII character, all of which have the same code values in both UTF-8 and ASCII encoding, and up to four bytes for other characters. UCS-2 uses a 16-bit code unit (two 8-bit bytes) for each character but cannot encode every character in the current Unicode standard. UTF-16 extends UCS-2, using one 16-bit unit for the characters that were representable in UCS-2 and two 16-bit units (4 × 8 bits) to handle each of the additional characters.

Question: What were the first 256 code points of Unicode made identical to?

Answer: ISO-8859-1

<hl> The first 256 code points were made identical to the content of ISO-8859-1 so as to make it trivial to convert existing western text. <hl> Many essentially identical characters were encoded multiple times at different code points to preserve distinctions used by legacy encodings and therefore, allow conversion from those encodings to Unicode (and back) without losing any information. For example, the "fullwidth forms" section of code points encompasses a full Latin alphabet that is separate from the main Latin alphabet section because in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) fonts, these Latin characters are rendered at the same width as CJK ideographs, rather than at half the width. For other examples, see Duplicate characters in Unicode.

Question: Why were the first 256 code points made identical to ISO-8859-1?

Answer: to make it trivial to convert existing western text

<hl> The first 256 code points were made identical to the content of ISO-8859-1 so as to make it trivial to convert existing western text . <hl> Many essentially identical characters were encoded multiple times at different code points to preserve distinctions used by legacy encodings and therefore, allow conversion from those encodings to Unicode (and back) without losing any information. For example, the "fullwidth forms" section of code points encompasses a full Latin alphabet that is separate from the main Latin alphabet section because in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) fonts, these Latin characters are rendered at the same width as CJK ideographs, rather than at half the width. For other examples, see Duplicate characters in Unicode.

Question: When was a surrogate character mechanism implemented in Unicode 2.0?

Answer: 1996

<hl> In 1996 , a surrogate character mechanism was implemented in Unicode 2.0, so that Unicode was no longer restricted to 16 bits. <hl> This increased the Unicode codespace to over a million code points, which allowed for the encoding of many historic scripts (e.g., Egyptian Hieroglyphs) and thousands of rarely used or obsolete characters that had not been anticipated as needing encoding. Among the characters not originally intended for Unicode are rarely used Kanji or Chinese characters, many of which are part of personal and place names, making them rarely used, but much more essential than envisioned in the original architecture of Unicode.

Question: What are the General Categories of Unicode?

Answer: Letter, Mark, Number, Punctuation, Symbol, Separator and Other

Each code point has a single General Category property. <hl> The major categories are: Letter, Mark, Number, Punctuation, Symbol, Separator and Other . <hl> Within these categories, there are subdivisions. The General Category is not useful for every use, since legacy encodings have used multiple characteristics per single code point. E.g., U+000A <control-000A> Line feed (LF) in ASCII is both a control and a formatting separator; in Unicode the General Category is "Other, Control". Often, other properties must be used to specify the characteristics and behaviour of a code point. The possible General Categories are:
