Unicode is used to encode the vast majority of text on the Internet, including most <a href="/wiki/Web_pages" class="mw-redirect" title="Web pages">web pages</a>, and relevant Unicode support has become a common consideration in contemporary software development. </p><p>The Unicode <a href="/wiki/Character_repertoire" class="mw-redirect" title="Character repertoire">character repertoire</a> is synchronized with <a href="/wiki/Universal_Coded_Character_Set" title="Universal Coded Character Set">ISO/IEC 10646</a>, each being code-for-code identical with one another. However, <i>The Unicode Standard</i> is more than just a repertoire within which characters are assigned. To aid developers and designers, the standard also provides charts and reference data, as well as annexes explaining concepts germane to various scripts, providing guidance for their implementation. Topics covered by these annexes include <a href="/wiki/Unicode_equivalence#Normalization" title="Unicode equivalence">character normalization</a>, <a href="/wiki/Combining_character" title="Combining character">character composition</a> and decomposition, <a href="/wiki/Unicode_collation_algorithm" title="Unicode collation algorithm">collation</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Bidirectional_text#Unicode_bidi_support" title="Bidirectional text">directionality</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Unicode text is processed and stored as binary data <a href="/wiki/Comparison_of_Unicode_encodings" title="Comparison of Unicode encodings">using one of several encodings</a>, which define how to translate the standard's abstracted codes for characters into sequences of bytes. <i>The Unicode Standard</i> itself defines three encodings: <a href="/wiki/UTF-8" title="UTF-8">UTF-8</a>, <a href="/wiki/UTF-16" title="UTF-16">UTF-16</a>, and <a href="/wiki/UTF-32" title="UTF-32">UTF-32</a>, though several others exist. Of these, UTF-8 is the most widely used by a large margin, in part due to its backwards-compatibility with <a href="/wiki/ASCII" title="ASCII">ASCII</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Origin_and_development">Origin and development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Unicode&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Origin and development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Unicode was originally designed with the intent of transcending limitations present in all text encodings designed up to that point: each encoding was relied upon for use in its own context, but with no particular expectation of compatibility with any other. Indeed, any two encodings chosen were often totally unworkable when used together, with text encoded in one <a href="/wiki/Mojibake" title="Mojibake">interpreted as garbage characters</a> by the other. Most encodings had only been designed to facilitate interoperation between a handful of scripts—often primarily between a given script and <a href="/wiki/Latin_character" class="mw-redirect" title="Latin character">Latin characters</a>—not between a large number of scripts, and not with all of the scripts supported being treated in a consistent manner. </p><p>The philosophy that underpins Unicode seeks to encode the underlying characters—<a href="/wiki/Grapheme" title="Grapheme">graphemes</a> and grapheme-like units—rather than graphical distinctions considered mere variant <a href="/wiki/Glyph" title="Glyph">glyphs</a> thereof, that are instead best handled by the <a href="/wiki/Typeface" title="Typeface">typeface</a>, through the use of <a href="/wiki/Markup_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Markup (computing)">markup</a>, or by some other means. In particularly complex cases, such as <a href="/wiki/Han_unification" title="Han unification">the treatment of orthographical variants in Han characters</a>, there is considerable disagreement regarding which differences justify their own encodings, and which are only graphical variants of other characters. </p><p>At the most abstract level, Unicode assigns a unique number called a <em><a href="/wiki/Code_point" title="Code point">code point</a></em> to each character. Many issues of visual representation—including size, shape, and style—are intended to be up to the discretion of the software actually rendering the text, such as a <a href="/wiki/Web_browser" title="Web browser">web browser</a> or <a href="/wiki/Word_processor" title="Word processor">word processor</a>. However, partially with the intent of encouraging rapid adoption, the simplicity of this original model has become somewhat more elaborate over time, and various pragmatic concessions have been made over the course of the standard's development. </p><p>The first 256 code points mirror the <a href="/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1" title="ISO/IEC 8859-1">ISO/IEC 8859-1</a> standard, with the intent of trivializing the conversion of text already written in Western European scripts. To preserve the distinctions made by different legacy encodings, therefore allowing for conversion between them and Unicode without any loss of information, many <a href="/wiki/Duplicate_characters_in_Unicode" title="Duplicate characters in Unicode">characters nearly identical to others</a>, in both appearance and intended function, were given distinct code points. For example, the <a href="/wiki/Halfwidth_and_Fullwidth_Forms_(Unicode_block)" title="Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms (Unicode block)">Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms</a> block encompasses a full semantic duplicate of the Latin alphabet, because legacy <a href="/wiki/CJK_characters" title="CJK characters">CJK encodings</a> contained both "fullwidth" (matching the width of CJK characters) and "halfwidth" (matching ordinary Latin script) characters. </p><p>The Unicode Bulldog Award is given to people deemed to be influential in Unicode's development, with recipients including <a href="/wiki/Tatsuo_Kobayashi" title="Tatsuo Kobayashi">Tatsuo Kobayashi</a>, Thomas Milo, <a href="/wiki/Roozbeh_Pournader" title="Roozbeh Pournader">Roozbeh Pournader</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ken_Lunde" title="Ken Lunde">Ken Lunde</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Michael_Everson" title="Michael Everson">Michael Everson</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="History"><span class="anchor" id="Unicode_88"></span>History</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Unicode&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The origins of Unicode can be traced back to the 1980s, to a group of individuals with connections to <a href="/wiki/Xerox" title="Xerox">Xerox</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Xerox_Character_Code_Standard" title="Xerox Character Code Standard">Character Code Standard</a> (XCCS).<sup id="cite_ref-unicode-88_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-unicode-88-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In 1987, Xerox employee <a href="/wiki/Joe_Becker_(Unicode)" title="Joe Becker (Unicode)">Joe Becker</a>, along with <a href="/wiki/Apple_Inc." title="Apple Inc.">Apple</a> employees <a href="/wiki/Lee_Collins_(Unicode)" title="Lee Collins (Unicode)">Lee Collins</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mark_Davis_(Unicode)" title="Mark Davis (Unicode)">Mark Davis</a>, started investigating the practicalities of creating a universal character set.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> With additional input from Peter Fenwick and <a href="/wiki/Dave_Opstad" title="Dave Opstad">Dave Opstad</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-unicode-88_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-unicode-88-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Becker published a draft proposal for an "international/multilingual text character encoding system in August 1988, tentatively called Unicode".

In a properly engineered design, 16&#160;bits per character are more than sufficient for this purpose. </p> </blockquote> <p>This design decision was made based on the assumption that only scripts and characters in "modern" use would require encoding:<sup id="cite_ref-unicode-88_9-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-unicode-88-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <blockquote> <p>Unicode gives higher priority to ensuring utility for the future than to preserving past antiquities. Unicode aims in the first instance at the characters published in the modern text (e.g. in the union of all newspapers and magazines printed in the world in 1988), whose number is undoubtedly far below 2<sup>14</sup> = 16,384. Beyond those modern-use characters, all others may be defined to be obsolete or rare; these are better candidates for private-use registration than for congesting the public list of generally useful Unicode. </p> </blockquote> <p>In early 1989, the Unicode working group expanded to include Ken Whistler and Mike Kernaghan of Metaphor, Karen Smith-Yoshimura and Joan Aliprand of <a href="/wiki/Research_Libraries_Group" title="Research Libraries Group">Research Libraries Group</a>, and Glenn Wright of <a href="/wiki/Sun_Microsystems" title="Sun Microsystems">Sun Microsystems</a>. In 1990, Michel Suignard and Asmus Freytag of <a href="/wiki/Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> and <a href="/wiki/NeXT" title="NeXT">NeXT</a>'s Rick McGowan had also joined the group. By the end of 1990, most of the work of remapping existing standards had been completed, and a final review draft of Unicode was ready. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Unicode_Consortium" title="Unicode Consortium">Unicode Consortium</a> was incorporated in California on 3 January 1991,<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and the first volume of <i>The Unicode Standard</i> was published that October. The second volume, now adding Han ideographs, was published in June 1992. </p><p>In 1996, a surrogate character mechanism was implemented in Unicode 2.0, so that Unicode was no longer restricted to 16 bits. This increased the Unicode codespace to over a million code points, which allowed for the encoding of many historic scripts, such as <a href="/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphs" title="Egyptian hieroglyphs">Egyptian hieroglyphs</a>, and thousands of rarely used or obsolete characters that had not been anticipated for inclusion in the standard.

However, the Unicode versions do differ from their ISO equivalents in two significant ways. </p><p>While the UCS is a simple character map, Unicode specifies the rules, algorithms, and properties necessary to achieve interoperability between different platforms and languages. Thus, <i>The Unicode Standard</i> includes more information, covering in-depth topics such as bitwise encoding, <a href="/wiki/Unicode_collation_algorithm" title="Unicode collation algorithm">collation</a>, and rendering. It also provides a comprehensive catalog of character properties, including those needed for supporting <a href="/wiki/Bidirectional_text" title="Bidirectional text">bidirectional text</a>, as well as visual charts and reference data sets to aid implementers. Previously, <i>The Unicode Standard</i> was sold as a print volume containing the complete core specification, standard annexes,<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>note 2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and code charts. However, version 5.0, published in 2006, was the last version printed this way. Starting with version 5.2, only the core specification, published as a print-on-demand paperback, may be purchased.<sup id="cite_ref-version6.1PoD_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-version6.1PoD-21"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The full text, on the other hand, is published as a free PDF on the Unicode website. </p><p>A practical reason for this publication method highlights the second significant difference between the UCS and Unicode—the frequency with which updated versions are released and new characters added. <i>The Unicode Standard</i> has regularly released annual expanded versions, occasionally with more than one version released in a calendar year and with rare cases where the scheduled release had to be postponed. For instance, in April 2020, a month after version 13.0 was published, the Unicode Consortium announced they had changed the intended release date for version 14.0, pushing it back six months to September 2021 due to the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a>. </p><p>Unicode 16.0, the latest version, was released on 10 September 2024. It added 5,185 characters and seven new scripts: <a href="/wiki/Garay_alphabet" title="Garay alphabet">Garay</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gurung_Khema" class="mw-redirect" title="Gurung Khema">Gurung Khema</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kirat_Rai" title="Kirat Rai">Kirat Rai</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ol_Onal" title="Ol Onal">Ol Onal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sunuwar" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunuwar">Sunuwar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Todhri" class="mw-redirect" title="Todhri">Todhri</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Tulu-Tigalari" class="mw-redirect" title="Tulu-Tigalari">Tulu-Tigalari</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Thus far, the following versions of <i>The Unicode Standard</i> have been published.

Characters required for a given script may be spread out over several different, potentially disjunct blocks within the codespace. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="General_Category_property">General Category property</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Unicode&amp;action=edit&amp;section=11" title="Edit section: General Category property"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Each code point is assigned a classification, listed as the code point's <a href="/wiki/Character_property_(Unicode)#General_Category" class="mw-redirect" title="Character property (Unicode)">General Category</a> property.

This covers the use of <a href="/wiki/Combining_diacritical_mark" class="mw-redirect" title="Combining diacritical mark">combining diacritical marks</a> that may be added after the base character by the user. Multiple combining diacritics may be simultaneously applied to the same character. Unicode also contains <a href="/wiki/Precomposed_character" title="Precomposed character">precomposed</a> versions of most letter/diacritic combinations in normal use. These make the conversion to and from legacy encodings simpler, and allow applications to use Unicode as an internal text format without having to implement combining characters. For example, <code>é</code> can be represented in Unicode as <span class="nowrap"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886049734"><span class="monospaced">U+0065</span>&#x20;</span><span style="font-size:125%;line-height:1em">&#x65;</span> <span style="font-variant: small-caps; text-transform: lowercase;">LATIN SMALL LETTER E</span> followed by <span class="nowrap"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886049734"><span class="monospaced">U+0301</span>&#x20;</span><span style="font-size:125%;line-height:1em"><span style="font-family: serif;">◌&#x301;</span></span> <span style="font-variant: small-caps; text-transform: lowercase;">COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT</span>), and equivalently as the precomposed character <span class="nowrap"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886049734"><span class="monospaced">U+00E9</span>&#x20;</span><span style="font-size:125%;line-height:1em">&#xe9;</span> <span style="font-variant: small-caps; text-transform: lowercase;">LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE</span>. Thus, users often have multiple equivalent ways of encoding the same character. The mechanism of <a href="/wiki/Canonical_equivalence" class="mw-redirect" title="Canonical equivalence">canonical equivalence</a> within <i>The Unicode Standard</i> ensures the practical interchangeability of these equivalent encodings. </p><p>An example of this arises with the Korean alphabet <a href="/wiki/Hangul" title="Hangul">Hangul</a>: Unicode provides a mechanism for composing Hangul syllables from their individual <a href="/wiki/Hangul_Jamo" class="mw-redirect" title="Hangul Jamo">Hangul Jamo</a> subcomponents.

A simple solution to the placement of combining marks or diacritics is assigning the marks a width of zero and placing the glyph itself to the left or right of the left sidebearing (depending on the direction of the script they are intended to be used with). A mark handled this way will appear over whatever character precedes it, but will not adjust its position relative to the width or height of the base glyph; it may be visually awkward and it may overlap some glyphs. Real stacking is impossible but can be approximated in limited cases (for example, Thai top-combining vowels and tone marks can just be at different heights to start with).

Nonetheless, few if any Unicode solutions have adopted these Unicode line and paragraph separators as the sole canonical line ending characters.
