| has gloss | eng: UTF-1 is a way of transforming ISO 10646/Unicode into a stream of bytes. Due to the design it is not possible to resynchronise if decoding starts in the middle of a character (this makes truncation hard, among other things) and simple byte-oriented search routines cannot be reliably used with it. UTF-1 is also fairly slow due to its use of division. Due to these issues, UTF-1 never gained wide acceptance and has been almost totally replaced by UTF-8. |
