Not all fonts are Unicode fonts, and not all Unicode fonts have all possible characters. This causes problems when a user changes or does not have a document's font and an incorrect glyph (or nothing at all) appears in the place of a specific character or symbol. In older font technologies, each font might designate glyphs with codes that meant something else (or nothing at all) in another font. Thus, no matter what Unicode font is being used, software will always use precisely the symbol being called for (assuming that the font has that glyph). Put simply, Unicode is a method of programming fonts that assigns a unique code to every symbol in every writing system. What is Unicode? The explanation at is a good place to begin.
