Take the tour ×  Is there any site, chart, or raw data that
shows how much of user have used Unicode (UTF-8) or Western
(ISO-8859-1) or Chinese and so.  Or provide rough data of what
is used in major number of sites. I want a rough data of major
browser setting.  I want to know which character encoding do
most user have.  share|improve this question about the "prefer
to have" in your question. If by users you mean website users
(and not developer users) I confidently think most don't even
know what that is, and those who know don't really care as long
as it works. On the developer side, UTF-8 is quite standard this
days and I can't think of a reason why to use ISO-8859-1 except
if you have some old software that requires it. –  Osvaldo Mar

when they download the browser; what is that? –  Santosh Kumar

problem you are trying
