Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The standard, which is maintained by the Unicode Consortium, defines as of the current version (15.0) 149, 186 characters covering 161 modern and historic scripts, as well as symbols, 3664 emoji (including in colors), and non-visual control and formatting codes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common encodings (character encoding schemes) use a single byte per character, and they are often called single-byte character sets (SBCS). They are all limited to 256 characters. Because of this, none of them can even cover all of the accented letters for the Western European languages.
