These are usually not encoded in Unicode ( or the corresponding ISO / IEC 10646 : Universal Character Set ), thus creating problems in computer processing.

In 1990, therefore, two initiatives for a universal character set existed : Unicode, with 16 bits for every character ( 65, 536 possible characters ), and ISO 10646.

In the late 1980s, work began on developing a uniform encoding for a " Universal Character Set " ( UCS ) that would replace earlier language-specific encodings with one coordinated system.
