Fun Fact About ASCII and UTF-8

UTF-8 was designed to be fully backward compatible with ASCII. Every valid ASCII text file is already a valid UTF-8 file without requiring any modification.

Historical Context

ASCII was originally developed in the 1960s as a standard for representing English characters in computers. As global computing expanded, the need for a universal encoding system led to the creation of Unicode and UTF-8, which now power most of the modern internet by supporting characters from virtually every language.
