The number of bits used in Unicode text encoding depends on the specific encoding scheme used.
- UTF-8: The most common Unicode encoding uses a variable number of bits per character, ranging from 1 to 4 bytes (8 to 32 bits).
- UTF-16: This encoding uses 2 bytes (16 bits) for most characters, but some characters require 4 bytes (32 bits).
- UTF-32: This encoding uses a fixed 4 bytes (32 bits) per character.
Therefore, the number of bits used in Unicode text encoding can vary depending on the chosen encoding scheme.
