Questions tagged [utf-16]

UTF-16 is a character encoding that represents Unicode code points using either 2 or 4 bytes per character.

UTF-16 is a character encoding that describes code points in byte sequences of either two or four bytes. It is therefore a variable-width character encoding.

The algorithm for encoding code points as UTF-16 is described in RFC 2781.

There are three flavors of UTF-16, little-endian, big-endian and with BOM (see ).
