The are many reasons why UTF-8 became the standard for encoding on the web.

Unlike other formats in


UTF-8 there is never a time where there are eight zeros in a row. In some computer languages if there
are eight zeros in a row it will stop reading the string. Another benefit of UTF-8 is that it has a universal
compatibility. Each character has an associated value across different languages so there is no difference
in different regions or countries. UTF-8 is also backwards compatible with ASCII and characters can be
easily removed by looking at the previous heading. These are some of the reasons why UTF-8 has
become the encoding standard over the web.
