Explanation

Unicode is a character encoding standard that assigns a unique number to every character across virtually all human languages and scripts - making it a vastly expanded successor to ASCII, which only covered 128 characters (English letters, digits, and basic symbols). Unicode supports over 140,000 characters spanning more than 150 writing systems, plus emoji and special symbols.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because Unicode encodes characters (text), not floating-point numbers - that's handled by standards like IEEE 754.
• B is wrong because Unicode has nothing to do with who writes the code; it's a universal industry/ISO standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium.
• C is a humorous wordplay on "uni-" (universe) but is meaningless - standards aren't "honored by the universe."

Memory tip: Think of Unicode as "ASCII with the universe added" - ASCII for English, Unicode for everyone. The "uni-" prefix hints at unified, meaning one standard to cover all of humanity's scripts.
