The following information is about Unicode.
Unicode Defined
A 16-bit character encoding standard developed by the Unicode Consortium between 1988 and 1991. By using two bytes to represent each character, Unicode enables almost all of the written languages of the world to be represented using a single character set. (By contrast, 8-bit ASCII is not capable of representing all of the combinations of letters and diacritical marks that are used just with the Roman alphabet.) Approximately 39,000 of the 65,536 possible Unicode character codes have been assigned to date, 21,000 of them being used for Chinese ideographs. The remaining combinations are open for expansion. Compare ASCII.
This definition is in context to Technology. See more contextual defintions for Unicode.
