 Thus, 'ó' in UTF-8 is encoded as two bytes: **C3 B3**.
-==== UTF-16 Encoding ====
+===== UTF-16 Encoding =====
 **UTF-16** is another encoding standard that uses either 2 or 4 bytes to represent characters. Unlike UTF-8, UTF-16 uses **a minimum of 2 bytes** for each character, which simplifies the encoding of characters but can be less space-efficient for texts containing many ASCII characters.

   * **FF FE**: Little-endian (least significant byte first)
-For example, in Windows text files or Microsoft Office documents, you may encounter this BOM at the beginning, especially when opening files in text editors like Notepad.

-=== Conclusion ===
+==== Conclusion ====
-UTF-8 has become the dominant encoding standard because it is backward-compatible with ASCII, space-efficient for texts that are predominantly ASCII, and can represent any character in the Unicode standard. Meanwhile, UTF-16 is commonly used in environments like Windows, where it handles 2-byte characters efficiently.
