What is Unicode

• Unicode provides a unique number for every character. They store letters and other characters by assigning a no. for each one. We use ASCII code for writing English language but this is not sufficient to write all English letters and other language. ASCII is only for English language.

Like for Oriya letter “ ଏ ” Unicode unique no. is “0B0F”

Hindi letter “ ए ” Unicode unique no. is “090F”
