Unicode is an industry standard designed to allow text and symbols from all of the writing systems of the world (See Universal Character Set) to be consistently represented and manipulated by computers.
Unicode characters can be encoded using any of several schemes termed Unicode Transformation Formats (UTF).
The Unicode Consortium has as its ambitious goal the eventual replacement of existing character encoding schemes with Unicode, as many of the existing schemes are limited in size and scope, and are incompatible with multilingual environments. Its success at unifying character sets has led to its widespread and predominant use in the internationalization and localization of computer software. The standard has been implemented in many recent technologies, including XML, the Java programming language, and modern operating systems.
