  • ​UTF-8:​ This type of encoding is the most common character encoding for unicode characters. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8. UTF-8 character encoding supports all characters, including characters used in Middle Eastern and Asian languages.
    This encoding increases the size of your email messages. An increased email size can influence sendout and deliverability and can have an impact on your billing. Choose ISO 8859-15 whenever possible.
