We’ll discover the powerful synergy between one of the most popular programming languages together. But today, our attention lays on the versatile UTF-8 character encoding system.

UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding for Unicode. Vague explanation, i knoww! Here, I’ll do a not so deepdeep explanation on what UTF-8 means, just enough to make you have an idea of what it means.
