fixed-length <a href="/wiki/Character_encoding" title="Character encoding">encoding</a> used to encode Unicode <a href="/wiki/Code_point" title="Code point">code points</a> that uses exactly 32 bits (four <a href="/wiki/Byte" title="Byte">bytes</a>) per code point (but a number of leading bits must be zero as there are far fewer than 2<sup>32</sup> Unicode code points, needing actually only 21 bits).<sup id="cite_ref-4_or_3_bytes_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4_or_3_bytes-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In contrast, all other Unicode transformation formats are variable-length encodings. Each 32-bit value in UTF-32 represents one Unicode code point and is exactly equal to that code point's numerical value. </p><p>The main advantage of UTF-32 is that the Unicode code points are directly indexed. Finding the <i>Nth</i> code point in a sequence of code points is a <a href="/wiki/Constant_time" class="mw-redirect" title="Constant time">constant-time</a> operation. In contrast, a <a href="/wiki/Variable-length_code" title="Variable-length code">variable-length code</a> requires <a href="/wiki/Linear_time" class="mw-redirect" title="Linear time">linear-time</a> to count <i>N</i> code points from the start of the string. This makes UTF-32 a simple replacement in code that uses <a href="/wiki/Integer" title="Integer">integers</a> that are incremented by one to examine each location in a <a href="/wiki/String_(computer_science)" title="String (computer science)">string</a>, as was commonly done for <a href="/wiki/ASCII" title="ASCII">ASCII</a>.

Characters beyond the <a href="/wiki/Basic_Multilingual_Plane" class="mw-redirect" title="Basic Multilingual Plane">BMP</a> are relatively rare in most texts (except, for example, in the case of texts with some popular emojis), and can typically be ignored for sizing estimates. This makes UTF-32 close to twice the size of <a href="/wiki/UTF-16" title="UTF-16">UTF-16</a>.
