<big><big>U</big>TF-8</big> is an ASCII-preserving encoding method for
<a href="unicode.html">Unicode</a> (ISO 10646), the Universal Character Set
(UCS). The UCS encodes most of the world's writing systems in a single
character set, allowing you to mix languages and scripts within a document
without needing any tricks for switching character sets. This web page is
encoded directly in UTF-8.
<p>
As shown <a href="glass.html">HERE</a>,
Columbia University's <a href="k95.html">Kermit 95</a> terminal emulation
software can display UTF-8 plain text in Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, XP, Vista,
or Windows 7/8/10 when using a monospace Unicode font like <a
href="http://www.monotype.com">Andale Mono WT J</a> or <a
href="http://www.evertype.com/emono/">Everson Mono Terminal</a>, or the lesser
populated Courier New, Lucida Console, or Andale Mono. <a
href="ckermit.html">C-Kermit</a> can handle it too,
<a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html">if you have a Unicode
display</a>. As many languages as are representable in your font can be seen
on the screen at the same time.
<p>
This, however, is a Web page, which started out as a kind of stress test for
UTF-8 support in Web browsers, which was spotty when this page was first
created in the 1990s but which has become standard in all modern browsers.
The problem now is mainly the fonts and the browser's (or font's) support
for the nonzero Unicode planes (as in, e.g., the <a href="#braille">Braille</a>
and <a href="#gothic">Gothic</a> examples
below). And to some extent the rendition of combining sequences,
right-to-left rendition (<a href="#arabic">Arabic</a>,
<a href="#hebrew">Hebrew</a>), and so
on. <a href="http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html">CLICK HERE</a> for
a survey of Unicode fonts for Windows.
<p>
The subtitle above shows currency symbols of many lands. If they don't
appear as blobs, we're off to a good start! (The one on the end is the
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign">new Indian Rupee
sign</a> which won't show up in fonts for a while.)

The first stanza of
<a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/%7Eleong/Russkaya%20Literatura/Aleksandr%20Sergeevich%20Pushkin.htm"><b>Pushkin</b></a>'s <cite>Bronze Horseman</cite> (Russian):<br>
<p><blockquote>
На берегу пустынных волн<br>
Стоял он, дум великих полн,<br>
И вдаль глядел. Пред ним широко<br>
Река неслася; бедный чёлн<br>
По ней стремился одиноко.<br>
По мшистым, топким берегам<br>
Чернели избы здесь и там,<br>
Приют убогого чухонца;<br>
И лес, неведомый лучам<br>
В тумане спрятанного солнца,<br>
Кругом шумел.<br>

<p>
ღმერთსი შემვედრე, ნუთუ კვლა დამხსნას სოფლისა შრომასა,
ცეცხლს, წყალსა და მიწასა, ჰაერთა თანა მრომასა;
მომცნეს ფრთენი და აღვფრინდე, მივჰხვდე მას ჩემსა ნდომასა,
დღისით და ღამით ვჰხედვიდე მზისა ელვათა კრთომაასა.

<p>
<blockquote>
யாமறிந்த மொழிகளிலே தமிழ்மொழி போல் இனிதாவது எங்கும் காணோம், <br>

நாமமது தமிழரெனக் கொண்டு இங்கு வாழ்ந்திடுதல் நன்றோ? சொல்லீர்!<br>
தேமதுரத் தமிழோசை உலகமெலாம் பரவும்வகை செய்தல் வேண்டும்.
