Glossary
What is Unicode / UTF-8?
The universal character encoding standard letting one page mix any scripts — Latin, Han, Arabic, Devanagari — without corruption.
In more depth
WordPress is UTF-8 native; encoding bugs today usually come from misconfigured databases or legacy imports, not the platform.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Unicode / UTF-8 helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
