Unicode is a character encoding standard that assigns a unique numeric value to every character in most of the world's writing systems. This makes it possible to represent text in a consistent way across different platforms and devices, regardless of the language or script being used. Unicode is essential for modern computing, as it enables the global exchange of text data.
What is Unicode?
Unicode is a character encoding standard that assigns a unique numeric value to every character in most of the world's writing systems. This makes it possible to represent text in a consistent way across different platforms and devices, regardless of the language or script being used.
Unicode is based on the Universal Character Set (UCS), which is a set of all the characters that are needed to write the world's languages. The UCS is divided into 17 planes, each of which contains 65,536 characters. The first plane, known as the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), contains the most commonly used characters from all of the world's writing systems.
