They are an inheritance from the past and most of them are now obsolete. They were used for teletype machines, something that existed before the fax.
Why is UTF-8 a wonderful hack?
It doubles the space for things like storing identifiers for programming languages, which normally would use up to 7 bits (for big percentage of the languages). UTF-8 can work with all 7-bit ASCII characters, and that’s what it’s great about it.
What is the full form of UTF-8?
UTF-8 (UCS Transformation Format 8) is the World Wide Web’s most common character encoding. Each character is represented by one to four bytes. UTF-8 is backward-compatible with ASCII and can represent any standard Unicode character.
