What is better for PHP developers - Unicode or UTF-8?

Question

What is better for PHP developers - Unicode or UTF-8?

I am going to create an international CMS. So I am going to have clients all over the world. They will speak all possible languages.

What encoding format is better for browser recognition and for DB data storage?

Answer 1

"Unicode" is not an encoding. You may mean UTF-8 versus UTF-16 (big-endian or little-endian). It really doesn't matter much for browser support. Any modern browser will support all three. You will probably find UTF-8 is the most space-efficient for your database.
