Why should I use Unicode?

To put it simply, Unicode is the most widely used computer industry standard for character encoding. As time goes on, the need for the exchange of text in multiple languages becomes more and more important. For international, multi-lingual communities like ProZ.com this is an absolute essential technology.

Here are just a few of the possible texts that can all be displayed at once using Unicode:

Arabic - يونِكود
Cyrillic - Юникод
Greek - Γιούνικοντ
Chinese - 统一码
Hebrew - יוניקוד
Japanese - ユニコード
Devanagari - यूनिकोड
