Both ANSI and UTF-8 are encoding formats. ANSI is a Microsoft-related standard for characters and is mainly used to encode Latin alphabets. UTF-8, on the other hand, is one of the implementations of Unicode and supports more than 128,000 characters.
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard. It defines how Kannada characters, along with characters from many other languages, are represented in web pages, text files, and documents.
There are different types of Unicode encoding, with UTF-8 and UTF-16 being the most common. UTF-8 is the most widely used on the web and is the default encoding standard in many software programs for Kannada text.
UTF-8 Unicode encoding can use up to four bytes to represent characters. For English characters, UTF-8 uses only one byte. European (Latin), Hebrew, and Arabic characters are typically represented with two bytes. Kannada characters and many other Asian scripts usually require three bytes. Some special characters may even require four bytes.
