    Wikipedia is always a good start.

    Then there’s always Joel Spolsky’s article: The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!).

    Note that the three things you name operate on different levels.

    • Unicode is a character set: a mapping between characters and numbers (code points).
    • UTF7 maps between code points and bytes.
    • base64 maps between bytes and bytes. (It mangles bytes so that they are represented by bytes in the ASCII range.)
