## Why Unicode quantity symbols are used by default instead of ASCII-only characters?
## Why UTF-8 quantity symbols are used by default instead of portable characters?
Both C++ and [ISO 80000](../appendix/references.md#ISO80000) are standardized by the ISO.
[ISO 80000](../appendix/references.md#ISO80000) and the [SI](../appendix/references.md#SIBrochure)
standards specify Unicode symbols as the official unit names for some quantities
standards specify UTF-8 symbols as the official unit names for some quantities
(e.g. `Ω` symbol for the resistance quantity).
As the **mp-units** library will be proposed for standardization as a part of the C++ Standard Library
we have to obey the rules and be consistent with ISO specifications.

!!! note
We do understand engineering reality and the constraints of some environments. This is why the library
has the option of [ASCII-only Quantity Symbols](../users_guide/framework_basics/text_output.md#unit_symbol_formatting).
has the option of [Portable Quantity Symbols](../users_guide/framework_basics/text_output.md#unit_symbol_formatting).
## Why don't we have CMake options to disable the building of tests and examples?
