What is the difference between Unicode & ANSI Sinhala font?
Both ANSI and UTF-8 are encoding formats. ANSI is a Microsoft-related standard for character and it is used to encode Latin Alphabets. Whereas, UTF-8 is one of the implementations of Unicode that includes more than 128,000 characters.
What is Unicode?
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard. It defines how individual character is represented in web pages or any other types of text files and documents.
There are different types of Unicode encoding with UTF-8 and UTF-16 being the most common. The UTF-8 encoding is used on the Web and it is the default encoding standard used in many software programs.
UTF-8 Unicode encoding can support up to four bytes to represent characters. For English characters, UTF-8 uses only one byte. European (Latin), Hebrew, and Arabic characters are represented with two bytes. On the other hand, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian characters are represented with three bytes. Some special characters are even represented with four bytes.
-->As the visual representation of language, typography’s main task is to communicate information. Its style should never get in the way of that goal. In this article, we'll discuss how to style typography in your Windows app to help users understand content easily and efficiently.
Font
You should use one font throughout your app's UI, and we recommend sticking with the default font for Windows apps, Segoe UI. It's designed to maintain optimal legibility across sizes and pixel densities and offers a clean, light, and open aesthetic that complements the content of the system.
To display non-English languages or to select a different font for your app, please see Languages and Fonts for our recommended fonts for Windows apps.
Don't mix multiple fonts.
Size and scaling
Font sizes in UWP apps automatically scale on all devices. The scaling algorithm ensures that a 24 px font on Surface Hub 10 feet away is just as legible as a 24 px font on 5' phone that's a few inches away.
Because of how the scaling system works, you're designing in effective pixels, not actual physical pixels, and you shouldn't have to alter font sizes for different screens sizes or resolutions.
Use a font size smaller than 12 px.
Hierarchy
Users rely on visual hierarchy when scanning a page: headers summarize content, and body text provides more detail. To create a clear visual hierarchy in your app, follow the Windows type ramp.
Type ramp
The Windows type ramp establishes crucial relationships between the type styles on a page, helping users read content easily. All sizes are in effective pixels and are optimized for UWP apps running on all devices.
Using the type ramp
Hebrew Fonts For Windows 10 32-bit
You can access levels of the type ramp as XAML static resources. The styles follow the
*TextBlockStyle
naming convention shown here.Use 'Body' for most text.
Use 'Base' for titles when space is constrained.
Use 'Caption' for primary action or any long strings.
Use 'Header' or 'Subheader' if text needs to wrap.
Alignment
The default TextAlignment is Left, and in most instances, flush-left and ragged right provides consistent anchoring of the content and a uniform layout. For RTL languages, see Adjusting layout and fonts to support globalization.
Character count
Keep to 50–60 letters per line for ease of reading.
Less than 20 characters or more than 60 characters per line is difficult to read.

Clipping and ellipses
When the amount of text extends beyond the space available, we recommend clipping text, which is the default behavior of most UWP text controls.
Clip text, and wrap if multiple lines are enabled.
Note: If containers are not well-defined (for example, no differentiating background color), or when there is a link to see more text, then use ellipses.
Languages
Segoe UI is our font for English, European languages, Greek, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, and Arabic. For other languages, see the following recommendations.
Globalizing/localizing fonts
Use the LanguageFont font-mapping APIs for programmatic access to the recommended font family, size, weight, and style for a particular language. The LanguageFont object provides access to the correct font info for various categories of content including UI headers, notifications, body text, and user-editable document body fonts. For more info, see Adjusting layout and fonts to support globalization.
