Both ANSI and UTF-8 are character encoding formats. ANSI is a Microsoft-specific standard mainly used to encode Latin alphabets, whereas UTF-8 is an implementation of Unicode that supports more than 128,000 characters.

Unicode is a universal character encoding standard. It defines how individual characters 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 widely used on the web and is the default encoding standard in many software programs.

UTF-8 encoding can use up to four bytes to represent a character. For English letters, UTF-8 uses one byte. European (Latin), Hebrew, and Arabic characters typically use two bytes. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian characters use three bytes, while certain special symbols may require four bytes.
