Unicode

Unicode is a computing industry standard for the representation of written characters from the world's scripts. It assigns a unique numerical value, known as a code point, to each character from a wide range of scripts, including but not limited to Latin, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and Emoji. This allows computers to handle text in multiple languages and scripts, as well as symbols and emoji, consistently across platforms and applications. The Unicode standard is updated regularly to include new characters and scripts, ensuring that it remains up-to-date with the evolving needs of the computing industry. The use of Unicode ensures that text is consistently represented and processed across platforms, enabling the exchange of text data between systems and applications. In short, Unicode provides a universal encoding for text data, ensuring that written characters from the world's scripts are consistently represented and processed by computers.
