The importance of UTF-8

Getting crazy science symbols to work on your website.

1st October 2008

UTF-8 is the mother of all page encoding and allows you to use scientific symbols and characters such as:

"excellent uniformity across the temperature range of -2°C to 50°C with lights off and +10°C to 35°C with lights on."

"Heraeus® vacutherm® 6000 BL Vacuum Drying Ovens for safe drying of samples that contain flammable solvents."

"Optimised guidance of the air and temperature distribution - better than ± 1.5 K Extreme heat during the summer is no problem."

"Ports Ø 50 mm and 125 mm in the left and right side panel.

"More stingent testing calls for an atmosphere containing SO² in a condensation water-alternating climate."

"The Global UV chamber allow testing with acid precipitation of pH>3. An auxiliary unit allows cyclic variation in acid precipitation of 1<pH<7 during UV irradiation, without exposing the test chamber to corrosion.."

"TL 520 13: Polyphenylenoxid für Fertigteile, Werkstoffanforderungen

TL 520 35: Thermoplast-Stoßfängerabdeckung, Werkstoffanforderung"

As an added bonus it's also backwards compatible with ASCII, which is why UTF-8 is our page encoding of choice as well as a must for any scientific product specification.
