About Character Encodings
Character encoding defines how text is stored as bytes. UTF-8 is the modern standard supporting all languages, while ASCII covers only English characters. Mojibake — garbled text like "Café" instead of "Café" — occurs when text is decoded with the wrong encoding. This tool helps identify and fix such issues.
