UTF-16

UTF-16 is a way computers encode text, allowing them to represent most characters from various languages. It uses sequences of 16-bit units (called code units) to store characters, which can be enough for common characters like Latin letters. For more complex characters, such as certain emojis or symbols, it combines two 16-bit units, making a total of 32 bits. This method balances efficiency and compatibility, enabling computers to handle diverse global text while maintaining a relatively simple encoding system. Essentially, UTF-16 is a standardized way for computers to read and write a wide range of characters in different languages.
