The world runs on a wide variety of character sets. This paper describes the many encodings for these sets and lists the characters in them. The paper also describes how conversions between the encodings can be performed, either with the functions of commonly used programs or separate converters. This paper also discusses practical use of the character sets in different contexts, such as email, Internet discussion forums, and document interchange. The use of Unicode does not mean that the user need not know anything about encodings. The user will inevitably encounter non-Unicode data as well, and one needs to work with it, even if this only means converting it into Unicode. Moreover, Unicode itself can be represented in different encodings, such as UTF-8 and UTF-16.
