Unicode

 What is Unicode?  

- Unicode is an international coding system designed to represent characters from different language scripts.  

- Each character or symbol is assigned a unique numeric value, largely building on the framework of ASCII.  

Why Unicode?  

- Earlier, each script had its own encoding system, which often conflicted with others.  

- Unicode solves this by providing a universal standard:  

  - A unique number for every character.  

  - Works across all platforms.  

  - Compatible with all programs.  

  - Supports all languages.  

Key Point  

- Unicode ensures that text is represented consistently, no matter the device, software, or language.
