Fun Fact
UTF-8 was designed to remain backward-compatible with ASCII, which is why standard English text appears identical when decoded from hex-encoded UTF-8 sequences.
Historical Context
UTF-8 was introduced in 1993 by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike to solve the global character encoding problem while maintaining efficiency and compatibility with legacy ASCII systems. Today it dominates the internet, representing more than 98% of web content encoding.
