Unicode codes

Unicode is a world standard that assigns a unique code point (a number) to each character, such as A, é, 中 or π. These code points make it possible for different computers and systems to represent the same characters consistently. UTF-8 is an encoding that specifies how those Unicode code points are stored as bytes. In other words, Unicode defines which number represents a character, while UTF-8 defines how that number is converted into bytes. UTF-8 uses 1–4 bytes per character and is the dominant Unicode encoding on the web.

The Unicode Consortium is the organisation currently responsible for maintaining the Unicode Standard is . This includes the Unicode code-point assignments.  Unicode Consortium also publishes the Unicode Standard. UTF-8 is one of the encoding schemes defined for representing these Unicode characters.
