Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The encoding forms that can be used with Unicode are called UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ISO-8859-1 (also known as Latin-1) character encoding set features all the characters of Windows-1252, including an extended subset of punctuation and business symbols. This standard was easily transportable across multiple word processors, and even newly released versions of HTML 4.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each UTF can represent any Unicode character that you need to represent. UTF-8 is based on 8-bit code units. Each character is encoded as 1 to 4 bytes. The first 128 Unicode code points are encoded as 1 byte in UTF-8.
