Pick one :)

I said only one that matters. So I already did pick one. It's called Unicode.

UTF-8 and UTF-16 pretty much do everything, but if you have a UTF-16 emoji in a UTF-8 system, you'll have a bad day. :(

Those are encodings, not character sets.

IANA calls them character sets, it's literally in the URL twice, that's good enough for me!
