This method will always cache values in the range ‘\u0000’ to ‘\u007F’, inclusive, and may cache other values outside of this range. The design of Unicode is based on the simplicity and consistency of ASCII, but goes far beyond ASCII’s limited ability to encode only the Latin alphabet. The Unicode Standard provides the capacity to encode all of the characters used for the written languages of the world.

• So even if the official version of Nepali Unicode for PC not available, you can still use it with the help of Emulators.
• In Somalia, the Italian colonial authority minted ‘rupia’ to exactly the same standard and called the pice ‘besa’.

An Explanation Of Unicode Character Encoding

Compatibility characters now deprecated were added to Greek and Coptic. The same people that created the Go programming language, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, also created UTF-8. It has succeeded because it’s efficient and clever in how it encodes those numbers. The main issue was that when reading a file, you didn’t know if you had a certain encoding system.
