21.1 The Document Character Set

The HTML 4.0 document character set, in the SGML sense, is the Universal Character Set (UCS) of [ISO10646]. This is code-by-code identical with the [UNICODE] standard.

21.1.1 Data transfer

HTML documents can be transmitted in a variety of encodings as described in the section "HTML Document Character Set" near the beginning of this specification. Characters outside the range of the encoding need to be represented as entity references. This is unnecessary with a more direct encoding of Unicode such as UTF-8 or UTF-16. After compression the resultant file sizes are close to that for character encodings such as ISO-8859-1 and EUC-JP.

When HTML text is transmitted directly in UTF-16 (charset="UTF-16"), text data should be transmitted in big-endian byte order (high order byte first) in accordance with ISO 10646 Section 6.3 and Unicode 2.0, clause C3, page 3-1 (see [UNICODE]).

Furthermore, to maximize chances of proper interpretation, it is recommended that documents transmitted as UTF-16 always begin with a ZERO-WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE character (hexadecimal FEFF) which, when byte-reversed becomes number FFFE, a character guaranteed to be never assigned. Thus, a user-agent receiving an FFFE as the first octets of a text would know that bytes have to be reversed for the remainder of the text.

The UTF-1 transformation format of [ISO10646] (registered by IANA as ISO-10646-UTF-1), should not be used.

Note that ISO Registration Number 177 strictly speaking refers to the original state of ISO 10646 in 1993, while in this specification, we always refer to the most up-to-date form of ISO 10646. Changes since 1993 have been the addition of characters and a one-time operation reallocating a large number of codepoints for Korean Hangul (Amendment 5).

        In ISO 10646, the positions with hexadecimal
        values 0000D800 - 0000DFFF, used in the UTF-16
        encoding of UCS-4, are reserved, as well as the last
        two code values in each plane of UCS-4, i.e. all
        values of the hexadecimal form xxxxFFFE or xxxxFFFF.
        These code values or the corresponding numeric
        character references must not be included when
        generating a new HTML document, and they should be
        ignored if encountered when processing a HTML
        document.
