unicode and ascii

Unicode is a magical code used by programmers all over the world. It assigns a numeric value to symbols. To enter them, you press alt+(combination of numbers). Each combination represents a different symbol. It has over 10000000 but only 10000 have been identified. UFT-16 uses 16 bits.
ASCII on the other hand, only fits 128 characters, and doesn't fit in 8bit.
