Unicode is widely regarded as politically neutral, has good support for both simplified and traditional characters, and can be easily converted to and from the GB and Big5. Furthermore, Unicode has the advantage of not being limited only to Chinese, since it contains character codes for (nearly) every language.
As of Unicode version 16.0, there are 155,063 characters with code points, covering 168 modern and historical scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets.This article includes the 1,062 characters in the Multilingual European Character Set 2 subset, and some additional related characters.
In Unicode 1.0.1, during the process of unifying with ISO 10646, the "IDEOGRAPHIC DITTO MARK" (仝) was unified with the unified ideograph at U+4EDD, allowing the Japanese Industrial Standard symbol to be moved from U+32FF in the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block to the vacated code point at U+3004.

In the Unicode multilingual character set of 149,813 characters, 98,682 (about two-thirds) are Chinese. [2] That means computer processing of Chinese characters is the toughest among other languages. Chinese faces special issues compared to other languages, including the technology of computer input, internal encoding and output of Chinese ...
Unicode hanzi characters are referenced to their corresponding CCCII and EACC codes in the Unihan database, in the keys kCCCII and kEACC; [4] however, since Unicode's character unification criteria (based on those used by the Japanese JIS X 0208 and on those developed by the Association for a Common Chinese Code in China) differ from those used ...
