 Universal Character Set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UCS has over 1.1 million code points, but only the first 65,536 (the Basic Multilingual Plane, or BMP) had entered into common use before 2000.
After the publication of Unicode 3.0 in February 2000, corresponding new and updated characters entered the UCS via ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000.
The first amendment to the original edition of the UCS defined UTF-16, an extension of UCS-2, to represent code points outside the BMP.

 Short overview of ISO/IEC 10646 and Unicode
UCS is the first offcially standardized coded character set with the purpose to eventually include all characters used in all the written languages in the world (and, in addition, all mathematical and other symbols).
UCS is intended to be usable both for internal data representation in computer systems and in data communication.
The character repertoire of the first version of UCS is based on an amalgamation of all internationally standardized coded character sets and the most important company-defined de facto standards for coded character sets that existed in 1991.

2) Determine which bits encode the character value from the number of octets in the sequence and the second column of the table above (the bits marked x).
2) Prepare the high-order bits of the octets as per the second column of the table.
Multi-octet characters, however, are not compatible with many current applications and protocols, and this has led to the development of a few so-called UCS transformation formats (UTF), each with different characteristics.

 Info: (recode) UCS-2
Universal Character Set, 2 bytes ================================ One surface of `UCS' is usable for the subset defined by its first sixty thousand characters (in fact, 31 * 2^11 codes), and uses exactly two bytes per character.
The library also properly reacts to other occurrences of `0xFEFF' or `0xFFFE' elsewhere than at the beginning, because concatenation of `UCS-2' files should stay a simple matter, but it might trigger a diagnostic about non canonical input.
The value `0xFFFE' is not an `UCS' character, so if this value is seen at the beginning of a file, `recode' reacts by swapping all pairs of bytes.

 Problems and Solutions for Unicode and User/Vendor Defined Characters
UCS does include all of the characters that exist in existing standards such as JIS, but it may not necessarily contain characters such as vendor defined characters which did not exist in standards.
BMP, are expressed in 2 bytes and characters from Planes 0x01 to 0x10 are expressed in 4 bytes, and as one character is no longer a 2 byte fixed length, it is possible that character processing may become complex.
In UCS there are several undefined reserved areas, and it is possible to use user defined characters in excess of 6400 characters if user defined characters are allotted to these areas.

 ISO-10646 Concept Dictionary
Plane-octet - byte 2 in a UCS-4 encoded character which designates a plane of characters within a group.
If one tries to imagine that either UCS encoding may be used as a multibyte encoding, several problems occur.
The goal in creating ISO 10646 was to include all characters from all significant languages; to be a UCS.

 Character Sets: UCS/Unicode Environment (Library of Congress)
This subset is made up of the UCS characters that correspond to the over 16,000 characters defined in the separate MARC-8 character sets for MARC 21.
It represents characters in a systematic way as 1, 2, or 3 octets, using the left-most bits of each octet to indicate how the octet is to be interpreted.
This encoding has the advantage of allowing the Basic Latin (ASCII) subset of the MARC 21 repertoire to be encoded with the same 8-bit encodings as in MARC-8 (with only one octet per character), thus preserving the basic structural elements of the MARC 21 record, while enabling record content to be multiscript.

 The Old Joel on Software Forum - Unicode
However, when it was determined that 2 bytes did not provide enough values for all possible code points, UTF-16 and UTF-8 where created (along with UCS-4 which uses 4 bytes per code point).
UCS-2 is always 2 bytes per code point and you cannot encode characters beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP).
In the early days, 2 bytes was enough precision to encode all the code points which is why Windows uses it.

The UCS actually has several versions of this depending on whether it's mounted on a building or a unit and whether the hard point is light or heavy.
This is the weapon of choice for the UCS when assaulting enemy bases and encampments, though even at with full ammo upgrades this weapon doesn't quite match the ED's mobile artillery weapons.
This means that each shot actually uses up 2 rockets rather than 1,However the Rocket Launcher upg.1 comes with 20 more missiles than the previous version and with the higher damage inflicted, this is more than worth it.

 UTF-8 Computer Encyclopedia Enterprise Resource Directory Complete Guide to Internet
For these reasons, UCS-2 is not a suitable external encoding of Unicode in filenames, text files, environment variables, etc. The {ISO 10646} {Universal Character Set} (UCS), a superset of Unicode, occupies a 31-bit code space and the obvious UCS-4 encoding for it (a sequence of 32-bit words) has the same problems.
The UTF-8 encoding of Unicode and UCS avoids the problems of fixed-length Unicode encodings because an ASCII file encoded in UTF is exactly same as the original ASCII file and all non-ASCII characters are guaranteed to have the most significant bit set (bit 0x80).

On this account, if the CS is presented before a UCS, then the CS center will create a pathway to the UCS center, and activation will flow from the CS to the UCS (I will adopt informal terminology here to simplify the writing: activation doesn't flow between stimuli, but between their centers).
A less-intense shock UCS that lasts for a relatively long time may be equivalent to a more intense shock UCS that lasts for a relatively short time.
Thus, the activation that reaches the UCS from the CS is already weaker, resulting in a weaker trigger.

Therefore, the UCS system is not intended as a number cruncher that extracts and processes cooccurrences from several hundred million words of text in a few minutes.
The UCS toolkit is a collection of libraries and scripts for the statistical analysis of cooccurrence data.
NB: Future releases of the UCS toolkit are expected to require Perl version 5.8.0 or newer (for Unicode support) and may also require R version 1.9.0 or newer.

 UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ
GB 18030 a new encoding of UCS for use in Chinese government systems that is backwards-compatible with the widely used GB 2312 and GBK encodings for Chinese.
At this level, UCS support is very comparable to ISO 8859 support and the only significant difference is that we have now thousands of different characters available, that characters can be represented by multibyte sequences, and that ideographic Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters require two terminal character positions (double-width).
UCS and Unicode are first of all just code tables that assign integer numbers to characters.

 Funny, It Worked Last Time : Encodings in Strings are Evil Things (Part 2)
As we said, early versions of Unicode specifiy UCS-2 as a standard, back when nothing existed in the UCS tables beyond the BMP.
This adds a brand new level of complexity to string handling, because now a single codepoint could be either 2 or 4 bytes.
And someone who is reading a string from a file, or from memory, needs to use the exact same encoding scheme, or we're off in la-la land.

 The skew.org XML Tutorial
Since UCS characters are intangible, decoding, to a computer, really means conversion to some other encoding form, most likely UTF-16, UCS-2 or UCS-4.
The basic idea of Unicode and the UCS is that a set of abstract objects called characters can be represented by at least one descriptive name and also by at least one unique number.
The allowable UCS character sequences in a decoded document fall into two main categories: markup and character data.

 UCS-2 Encoding Form
In a UCS-2 Unicode system, one cannot legally interpret individual bytes that constitute only a portion of a Unicode character; rather, the entire 16-bit integral value must be tested.
In neither case would the correct answer (2) be returned.

 Unicode(5)
Universal character encoding that an implementation parses in 16-bit units (2 octets) is known as UCS-2.
The Unicode Standard specifies a universal character set (UCS) that contains definitions in Ver- sion 2.1 for 38,887 characters and also includes a Private Use Area for vendor- or user-defined characters.
Font Support The operating system provides the following types of bitmap fonts for UCS characters: + Public domain Unicode fonts: -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-70-iso10646-1 -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-iso10646-1 + Composite fonts that the libfr_FGC font renderer creates by combining fonts available for other codesets These fonts currently cover only a subset of the characters in UCS.

 Unicode
In UTF-32 and UCS-4, one 32-bit code value serves as a fairly direct representation of any character's code point (although the endianness, which varies across different platforms, affects how the code value actually manifests as a bit sequence).
The numbers in the names of the encodings indicate the number of bits in one code value (for UTF encodings) or the number of bytes per code value (for UCS) encodings.
