Unicode is a text character set that was designed with the goal of being able to represent all the characters of all the world's languages. It is by far the dominant international character set, and was developed by a consortium with most of the largest computer companies as members. The first version was released in 1991, and every so often, a new version is released having more characters. It normally represents each character with 2 bytes, although there are a number of complexities and alternate encodings. Netica allows most aspects of Bayes nets to be represented in Unicode, while the rest are required to be in ASCII.
