Unicode Consortium

The Unicode Consortium is a nonprofit organization that develops and maintains the Unicode Standard, which is a system for encoding text from all writing systems around the world. This standard enables computers and devices to consistently represent and manipulate text in various languages, including special characters and symbols. By ensuring that every character has a unique code, the Unicode Consortium helps in digital communication, making it easier for people to read, write, and share information across different platforms and languages without confusion or misinterpretation.
