Unicode is a global standard that gives a number to every character, letter, symbol, and emoji you can imagine! It helps computers, phones, and websites all around the world to understand each other. 🌍
Thanks to Unicode, we can type not only English, but also Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, emojis, and much more!
🌐 Why was Unicode needed?
ASCII was great, but it only supported English letters and basic symbols. 🌎 Unicode was created to support ALL languages and special characters, making communication possible across the world.
🌟 Fun fact: Unicode now supports over 150 writing systems and includes more than 140,000 characters!
💬 What can Unicode represent?
🌍 Letters from all languages (Chinese, Russian, Greek...)
Unicode is everywhere! When you send a message with an emoji, visit an international website, or type a name with special accents, you're using Unicode without even thinking about it.
💡 Tip: Unicode made it possible for people from all countries to share and read information easily on the internet!
