Unicode typefaces (also known as UCS fonts and Unicode fonts) contains wide range of characters, letters, digits, glyphs, symbols, ideograms, logograms, etc, which are collectively mapped into Universal Character Set, also known as, UCS (which is an international standard ISO/IEC 10646), derived from many different languages, scripts from all around the world. Thus, only one font is able to display vast range of characters, from different languages. Due to technical limitations, some web browsers may not display some special characters in this article. ...

Current Unicode fonts do not include all UCS characters defined in the present revision of ISO 10646 standard. Their creators are updating them with more characters, which were not included previously, or, were not placed correctly, or, including their own characters, or, updating them with new characters defined in the newer standard revision of ISO 10646.

The UCS has over 1.1 million code points, but only the first 65,536 (the Plane 0: Basic Multilingual Plane, or BMP) had entered into common use before 2000. See the Mapping of Unicode characters article for more information on other planes (Plane 1: SMP, Plane 2: SIP, Plane 14: SSP, Plane 15 and 16: reserved for PUA) and therein included scripts for different languages, dialects.

There are typgraphical ambiguities in Unicode, so that some of the unified Chinese characters will be typographically different in different regions. For example, Unicode point U+9AA8 (骨) is typographically different between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. This has implications for the idea that a single typeface can satisfy the needs of all locales^[1].

However, Unicode is now the base character set for many new standards and protocols, and is built into the architecture of operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and many versions of Unix), programming languages (Perl, Python, Java, Common LISP, APL), and libraries (IBM International Components for Unicode (ICU) along with the Pango, Graphite, Scribe, Uniscribe, and ATSUI rendering engines), font formats (TrueType and OpenType) and so on.
