I know

  • what a character encoding is.
  • why different character encodings exist.
  • which problems can occur if different character encodings are used for reading/writing the same file when exchanging data between different systems.

I can

  • name one or more commonly used character encodings
  • make use of software of my choice to find out which character encoding a text based file is based on
