'''Unicode''' is a [[character encoding]] [[standard]] used to allow [[computer]]s to represent all of the known [[writing]] systems of the world. Unicode specifies encoding schemes such as UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. The most popular encoding scheme is UTF-8. UTF-8 characters are represented with one to four [[bytesbyte]]s. For example, the English letters of the Latin script are encoded with one byte.
