Unicode
The Unicode Worldwide Character Standard (Unicode) is a system for "the interchange, processing, and display of the written texts of the diverse languages of the modern world." Unlike ASCII, which uses 8 bits for each character, Unicode uses 16 bits, which means that it can represent more than 65,000 unique characters. Currently, the Unicode standard contains 34,168 distinct coded characters derived from 24 supported language scripts. These characters cover the principal written languages of the world, including European Latin-based and Slavic languages, Semitic languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, and languages of the Far East - Chinese, Korean, Japanese in all their orthographic versions.

User Interface (UI)
The part of a software application with which the user interacts.
See GUI (Graphical User Interface).

UTF-8 (Unicode Transfer Format)
An encoding form of Unicode that supports ASCII for backward compatibility and covers the characters for most languages in the world.
See Unicode.
