Unicode

Definition by Best Host Ratings

A 16-bit character set defined by ISO 10646. It maps digits to characters in languages around the world. Because 16 bits covers 32,768 codes, Unicode is large enough to include all the world's languages, with the exception of ideographic languages that have a different character for every concept, like Chinese.
