You know, computers only understands numbers (to be exact, only 0s and 1s) not the human languages like the alphabets A, B or C or any other symbols. Therefore, all these alphabets are placed inside the system with the help of different numbers allotted to each characters or symbols which is not a number (or system cannot understand). That particular value allotted to each symbols are the UNICODEs. For eg, when we type A, system see it as 65, for B, it's 66, for 6, it's 67... for space ( ), it's 32.. and so on...
