Statement Breakdown
Unicode was developed to represent characters from multiple languages. — Correct

Unicode was created as a universal character encoding standard to support text written in almost every writing system and script in the world, including non-Latin alphabets and symbols.

ASCII is a subset of Unicode. — Correct

The first 128 characters (0 to 127) of Unicode are identical to standard ASCII, making standard ASCII fully backward-compatible with Unicode systems.

Every Unicode character occupies exactly 16 bits. — Incorrect

Unicode uses variable-width encodings like UTF-8, where characters can take anywhere from 8 bits (1 byte) up to 32 bits (4 bytes). Standard ASCII characters in UTF-8, for instance, only use 8 bits.

ASCII uses fewer characters than Unicode. — Correct

Standard ASCII defines only 128 characters, whereas Unicode defines over 140,000 characters (including modern emojis, historic scripts, and mathematical symbols).
