Plain text: Usage, Plain text and rich text & Encoding

In computing, plain text is a loose term for unformatted text or nontextual data represented as text (e.g. file contents) using printable characters (for example letters, digits, symbols, spaces, tabs, line breaks) in a character encoding. In principle, plain text can be in any encoding, but today usually implies UTF-8.
