Q
Which statement about UTF-8 is correct?
-
A
It is variable-length (1 to 4 bytes per character) and backward-compatible with ASCII
-
B
It is fixed at 8 bytes per character
-
C
It cannot represent non-Latin scripts
-
D
It always uses 2 bytes per character
Correct Answer:
A. It is variable-length (1 to 4 bytes per character) and backward-compatible with ASCII
Explanation:
The '8' in UTF-8 refers to its 8-bit code units, not 8 bytes per character. ASCII characters still take 1 byte.
