+++ Unicode +++ Code Charts +++ Phonetic +++ Accents

Unicode is an encoding scheme for all characters of the world in a unified way. It is a 16-bit encoding with room enough for most characters of the world's languages (2^16 = 65536 characters). In Unicode, characters are grouped into logical blocks (like Latin, Cyrillic, or Greek, accents etc.). Unicode support is rapidly growing in today's operating systems for personal computers.
