What is Unicode?
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that assigns a unique code point to every character, symbol, and emoji from all writing systems around the world. Unlike ASCII which only covers basic English characters, Unicode supports over 1 million characters from hundreds of languages.
Unicode conversion is essential for modern web development and international applications:
- Web Development – Handling international characters and symbols in websites
- Data Processing – Converting between text and Unicode for database storage
- Localization – Supporting multiple languages and writing systems
- Programming – Working with Unicode escape sequences and character codes
