Detailed explanation-1: -Unicode is a universal character encoding standard. This standard includes roughly 100000 characters to represent characters of different languages. While ASCII uses only 1 byte the Unicode uses 4 bytes to represent characters. Hence, it provides a very wide variety of encoding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unicode is a single, large set of characters including all presently used scripts of the world, with remaining historic scripts being added. Unicode comes with two main encodings, UTF-8 and UTF-16, both very well designed for specific purposes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The characters can be emojis, alphabets, Greek symbols, etc. ASCII and Unicode are two popular encoding schemes. ASCII encodes symbols, digits, letters, etc., whereas Unicode encodes special texts from different languages, letters, symbols, etc. It can be said that ASCII is a subset of the Unicode encoding scheme.
