In a computer file, the characters are stored as binary according to
some scheme, called the encoding. There are many different encodings.
-The simplest is ASCII, but it does not accomodate many characters so
-that for instance to get the a-umlaut character @"{a} in an
-ASCII-encoded text file a user must enter @code{\"a}, which makes the
-file hard to read and also means that @TeX{} won't hyphenation the word
-containing that character. Often a more inclusive encoding is more
-convenient. The modern standard, in some ways a union of the others, is
-UTF-8.
