Unicode fonts contains wide range of characters, letters, digits, glyphs, symbols, etc, which are collectively mapped into Universal Character Set, also known as, UCS (which is an international standard ISO/IEC 10646), derived from many different languages from all around the world. Thus, only one font is able to display vast range of characters.

Current Unicode fonts do not include all UCS characters defined in the present ISO 10646 standard. But their creators are updating them with more characters, which were not included previously, or, were not placed correctly, or, including their own characters.

Unicode fonts may refer to:

Bitstream Cyberbit, TITUS Cyberbit Basic, Code2000, GNU Unifont, Charis SIL, Doulos SIL, Lucida Sans Unicode, the Free software Unicode fonts, Gentium, DejaVu fonts, Junicode, Gentium, Lucida Sans Unicode, Arial Unicode MS, etc.
