Unicode
In plain terms
A universal standard for encoding text in all languages.
Going deeper
Unicode assigns a unique code point to every character across the world's writing systems, enabling consistent global text. It unifies all scripts.
Under the hood
Encodings like UTF-8 represent code points as bytes; covers emoji, scripts, and symbols.
Examples
UTF-8, emoji, multilingual text, code points, internationalization.
Think of it like...
Like a single master codebook covering every alphabet and symbol on Earth.
