Universal Character Set {IEC} standard {character set}, also known as "Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set". UCS comes in a 16-bit variant called UCS-2 and a 32-bit variant called UCS-4, which is composed of 16-bit UCS-2 "planes". So far only one 16-bit plane has been defined, which is known as the {Basic Multilingual Plane}. The implementation of UCS is still in its infancy, though some moves, such as the {Java} language defining a character to be 16 bits, are suggestive. [Relationship with {Unicode}?] (1997-07-04) | |
