Historical Context of UTF-8
UTF-8 was introduced in 1993 by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike as a variable-length character encoding capable of representing every Unicode code point while remaining backward compatible with ASCII. Its efficient design and compatibility with existing systems made it the dominant character encoding for the modern internet. Today, UTF-8 powers the majority of web content globally, enabling consistent multilingual communication across platforms.
Fun Fact
The decimal sequence “72 101 108 108 111” converts to “Hello” in UTF-8. Because UTF-8 preserves ASCII values for the first 128 code points, simple English text encoded in decimal often maps directly to familiar characters without additional transformation layers.
