In this lesson, we introduce Unicode code points and one of the most common ways to encode them - UTF-8. We then show how 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-byte UTF-8 encodings work and how we can encode our values to one of them. Take aways: At the completion of this lesson, each student should be able to: • explain what a Unicode code point is, • represent a given Unicode code point, • explain the relationship between Unicode code points and UTF-8 encoding, and • encode a Unicode code point in UTF-8. #utf8 #unicode #encoding
