Unicode Vs. Ascii ?

how can I save a file in unicode or in ascii and waht will be the output whan I view later those files ?

Unicode used 16 bit number to store information about Charater & symbols, whereas ascii used 8 bit. thus Unicode can represent more than 65000 characters/symbols as compared to ASCII only 256 characters. Unicode charqacters are standardized to represent most of commonly used languages worldwide including asian/indian languages. This is helping in common standard for document genration in any language independent of any custom software using custom mapping of characters. You can read E-mail message world wide , read message in browsers in any languge.
