Encodings & Escape Sequences
Every Unicode character can be represented in multiple ways depending on context. HTML entities let you embed it safely in web pages. UTF-8 bytes are what gets stored on disk and sent over the network. Escape sequences let you reference it in source code without pasting the raw glyph. All formats below refer to the same character — Punctuation Space.

Normalization Forms
Unicode defines four normalization forms that affect how characters with diacritics, compatibility variants, and combining marks are represented. This character has a non-trivial normalization — the forms below differ from its codepoint. Mismatched normalization is the most common cause of failed string comparisons across systems.
Decomposition
This character can be broken down into a sequence of simpler Unicode codepoints. This is a compatibility decomposition — the character is a stylistic or semantic variant of its components, not an exact equivalent.
