Definition
Unicode encoding is a character encoding standard. It was proposed by the nonprofit organization Unicode Inc. in 1991. The standard is designed to combine as many different types of characters as possible in one document. A page that is based on it can contain letters and characters from different languages (from Russian to Korean) and mathematical signs. In this case, all characters in this encoding are displayed without problems.
