The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit organization that develops and maintains the Unicode Standard, which is a universally accepted encoding system for text and symbols in digital formats. Established in 1991, its goal is to ensure that text in all languages and scripts can be consistently represented and manipulated by computers. The consortium collaborates with various stakeholders, including software developers and international organizations, to facilitate the global use of text. Additionally, it oversees the approval and implementation of new characters and emojis.
Unicode was first introduced in 1991. The Unicode Consortium, which oversees the development and maintenance of the Unicode Standard, aimed to create a universal character encoding system that could represent text from all writing systems. The first version of the Unicode Standard, Unicode 1.0, was released in October 1991. Since then, it has undergone numerous updates to include a wider range of characters and scripts.

In computer memory, character are represented using predefined character set. Historically 7 bit American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) code, 8 bit American National Standards Institute (ANSI) code and Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code(EBCDIC) were used. These coding scheme represents selected characters into 7 or 8 bit binary code. These character schemes do not represent all the characters in all the languages in uniform format. At present Unicode is used to represent characters into the computer memory. Unicode provides universal and efficient character presentations and hence evolved as modern character representation scheme. Unicode scheme is maintained by a non-profit organization called Unicode consortium. Unicode is also compatible with other coding scheme like ASCII. Unicode use either 16 bits or 32 bits to represent a character. Unicode has capability represent characters from all the major languages in use currently across the world.
The character "A" is represented in Unicode as U+0041.
