Hi, Karam.
I know some encodings:
* UTF-8 (Unicode encoding based on 08 bits (1 byte) secuences).
* UTF-16 (Unicode encoding based on 16 bits (2 bytes) secuences).
* ISO-10646-UCS-2, ISO-10646-UCS-4 (ISO/IEC 10646 encodings).
* ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ... ISO-8859-n ("n" is the number part of the
ISO-8859 standard. For example, all the characters and symbols for the latin
*derivated* languages, such as: English, Spanish, French, German, etc., are
defined in ISO-8859-1 -This encoding is the one that I use most-).
* ASCII (is the intersection of UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1): from code 0 to code
127 characters/symbols.
* ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS (japanese Unicode encoding), EUC-JP (japanese
encoding forms of the JIS X-0208-1997 standard).
On thing to have in mind is that all XML valid processors MUST support at
least two types of Unicode encodings, which are: UTF-8 y UTF-16.
Hope this helps,
Sergio Rodríguez.

Subject: [xml-dev] Encoding in XML
I was working with an XML file that contains some
German characters. If I just create a default XML file
it is giving error in IE. If I setup encoding=UTF-8,
it is working fine
I did a google and came to know that different
encoding exists like UTF-8, UTF-16 etc. Can somebody
point out all the encodings that are valid and how
they work?
What encoding is universal and can show any
characters?
Thanks in advance.
Karam
