What is UNICODE:
Unicode is a 16-bit character set designed to cover all the world's major living languages, in addition to scientific symbols and dead languages that are the subject of scholarly interest. It is particularly important since Java uses Unicode internally as the basis for its String class. Furthermore, Windows/NT uses Unicode.
   
Official URL: With luck, and patience, you may get some information from the official UNICODE Web page: http://www.unicode.org which should be simply an alias for http://stonehand.com/unicode.html. I've had trouble with this site.
   
Brief summaries of various standards: Descriptions, history, and comparisons, of a number of character set standards, including ISO-10646, UCS-2, UCS-4, UTF-1, UTF-7, UTF-8, and UTF-16. http://ccic.ifcss.org/ftp-pub/software/info/cjk-codes/Unicode.html
