Escape Character relates to the Unicode standard, which assigns a unique code point (U+0000 to U+10FFFF) to every character across all writing systems. UTF-8 encoding uses 1-4 bytes per character — ASCII characters take 1 byte while CJK ideographs take 3 bytes. UTF-16 uses 2 or 4 bytes and is the internal string format in JavaScript and Java. Proper encoding declaration prevents mojibake (garbled text) when files cross system boundaries.
