I noticed something while uploading some unicode data to the database. When the content is uploaded throught textarea, is gets stored in क format, but when you personally type or paste the unicode and insert it hardcoded in php, then it would store in ठformat. But for both, the unicode character is same क.

Now please tell me the difference between the different formats of unicode characters. And how they affect the development. There has to be some limitations in those formats.

    & #2325; is markup used in HTML to represent a Unicode character

    If you hard code something in a php source file, Make sure you are opening it with editor that correctly displays text files with unicode characters in it.

    http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html is good place to know the basics of unicode.

    UTF-8 encoding of क has the byte sequence E0 A4

    Now if somebody interprets this as 8 bit Latin encoding it will think it is two characters

    you will see in the table in the above link E0 is à and A4 is ¤
