Dumb question: what is unicode?

by Sean H. · in Torque Game Engine · 01/19/2006 (8:00 am) · 3 replies

Some people may consider this a dumb question but I have to ask beause I'm not sure. I know it has to do with translating your game font into different languages or dialects, but what exactly is it? what kind of functionality does 1.4 offer in terms of unicode?

thanks in advance!

In a very short answer : Unicode is the substitute for ASCII
