Today, three main types of encoding are used: 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit. They can process respectively 256, 65,536 or 4,294,967,296 sequences of two values.
In website development, you need to remember that each browser works with its own encoding or several encodings. Therefore, first understand which encodings are supported. For example, in Internet Explorer: go to "View" and then to "Encodings" and see a list of encodings for Russian. IE uses six encodings: Windows‑1251, KOI‑8U, KOI‑8R, UTF‑8, Mac Russian encoding and ISO‑8859‑5. Website development will be based on this data. Windows‑1251 encoding has the most typical compatibility with this browser.
How does the page display information? It exchanges data with the server, including encoding information. The browser sends the server information about the encoding used on the page, and the server returns the page encoded according to the browser.
It is better already at the setup stage to set the correct encoding — to choose the required character set. Accurate selection is the key, otherwise the user will see gibberish. No one will want to decrypt manually, so when building an online store it is important to take care of convenience and save unnecessary effort for visitors.
