Google Search Supports Unicode 5.1

May 6, 2008 By Tilak

Google is now supporting Unicode 5.1 and now available in search. Last month, the Unicode Consortium had announced the release of Unicode 5.1. Unicode encoding – which can be used for a variety of languages, not just the smaller set supported by ASCII and others – has become the most popular encoding on the web since December 2007.

Now a days mostly web pages are using vairety of different character coding from ASCII, Latin-1, or Windows 1252, or Unicode and the problem is most encodings represent only few languages, but Unicode will handle anything Chinese to French to Arabic.

According to Google, Unicode is the most popular and frequently used coding on the Internet, even surpassing the likes of both ASCII and Western European encodings.
