Each UTF is reversible, thus every UTF supports lossless round tripping: mapping from any Unicode coded character sequence S to a sequence of bytes and back will produce S again.
The SCSU compression method, even though it is reversible, is not a UTF because the same string can map to very many different byte sequences, depending on the particular SCSU compressor.
The BE form uses big-endian byte serialization (most significant byte first), the LE form uses little-endian byte serialization (least significant byte first) and the unmarked form uses big-endian byte serialization by default, but may include a byte order mark at the beginning to indicate the actual byte serialization used.
UTF Along with the characters, Unicode also defines methods for storing them in byte sequences in a computer.
“UTF” may be explained as standing for Unicode Transformation Format, or UCS Transformation format where “UCS”; stands for Unicode Character Set.
None of the three UTF approaches (-32, -16, -8) are really better than any of the others.
