There are two ways to store bytes in words and double words – Big Endian and Little Endian. A sequence of two bytes is called a word and a sequence of four bytes is called a double-word. In the UTF32 and UCS4 encodings, the representation is fixed-length and uses 4 bytes (exactly 32 bits). In the UTF16 and UCS2 encodings, one symbol is represented by a pair of bytes or two pairs of bytes (16 or 32 bits). In the UTF8 encoding, 1 to 4 bytes (8, 16, 24, or 32 bits) are required to store a character. The difference between the encodings is how many bytes are required to represent any of 1,114,112 Unicode glyphs in memory. You can use any of the five most popular Unicode encodings (UTF8/UTF16/UCS2/UTF32/UCS4) and use binary to hexatridecimal bases for the bytes. This utility converts Unicode characters to bytes in the given encoding and base.
