Encoding is converting the data or a given sequence of characters, symbols, alphabets, etc.,
into a specified format for secure data transmission. Decoding is the reverse encoding
process, extracting the information from the converted form.
UTF-8 is an encoding system for Unicode. It can translate any Unicode character to a
matching unique binary string and the binary string back to a Unicode character. This means
"UTF" or "Unicode Transformation Format".
Translating the binary string back to a Unicode character is called UTF-8 decoding.
