# Static encoding_rs::UTF_8 [−] [src]

    pub static UTF_8: &'static Encoding

The UTF-8 encoding.

This is the encoding that should be used for all new development it can represent all of Unicode.

This encoding matches the Windows code page 65001, except Windows differs in the number of errors generated for some erroneous byte sequences.

This will change from `static` to `const` if Rust changes to make the referent of `pub const FOO: &'static Encoding` unique cross-crate, so don’t take the address of this `static`.
