The .utf8 file extension is one of the several Unicode UTF-8-Encoded Text Document types. It is used to store plain text in a file that has been saved with the UTF-8 encoding method, and is aimed at providing the most reliable solution for non-English characters that are created with the Latin alphabet. With this type of encoding, characters are represented by 1 to 4 bytes, enabling the document to use up to four billion different characters. This makes it perfect for texts in non-English languages that use images, symbols, and punctuation that are not supported by basic ASCII codes.
Encoding Details for UTF-8 (Unicode UTF8-Encoded Text Document)
The encoding system used byUTF-8 files is based on the Unicode character set. When saved in this format, it allows a wide variety of characters and symbols to be stored within a text file without breaking compatibility with many software applications. Not all Microsoft Word processors support this file format unless they are given explicit instructions for doing so, however many common word processors, such as WordPad, Notepad++, and Apache OpenOffice Writer, will be able to open and save.utf8 files without any issue. In addition to the.utf8 file extension, some other similar ones include: utf-16le, utf-16be, utf-32le, and utf-32be.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .UTF8) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .UTF8 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .UTF8 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .UTF8 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .UTF8 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .UTF8 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .UTF8 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .UTF8 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .UTF8 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .UTF8 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
