Re: Correct way to express in English that a string is encoded ... using UTF-8 ... with UTF-8 ... in UTF-8?

Hello Unicode experts!

Which is correct:

(a) The input file contains a string. The string is encoded using UTF-8.

(b) The input file contains a string. The string is encoded with UTF-8.

(c) The input file contains a string. The string is encoded in UTF-8.

(d) Something else (what?)

I would say I've seen all three uses about equally.

If you search for each phrase, though, "in" comes up as the most frequent one.

That would make the last one, or simply "in UTF-8" (that is, without the "encoded") good choices for general audiences.
