University Computing Services, the large bureaucracy responsible for IU's computer clusters and computer services. UCS maintained a dozen and a half clusters of computers usable by any student, as well as the central computers such as a cluster of VAX machines and several running unix. They also provided consultants in the labs, ran the networks that kept them together, and did some other related things, like teach people how to run WordPerfect. Aside from UCS, other organizations ran computers in offices and some classrooms, as well as some libraries and dorms. Other campuses, like IUSB, had their own support mechanisms. UCS was previously called BACS and later changed its name to UITS in a largely useless game of musical chairs.

Universal Classification Standard. The UCS is the new job classification instrument for comparing the relative value of various Public Service work. The UCS will apply to all federal Public Service employees (Public Service Staff Relations Act, Schedule 1, Part 1), for whom Treasury Board is the employer, with the exception of the executive (EX) group.

Universal Character Set: ISO/IEC 10646:1991 (aligned with Unicode)
Universal Character Set. The standard is known as Unicode (maintained by the Unicode Consortium) and ISO/IEC 10646 (maintained by the ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC2/WG2 working group). The Unicode Consortium and ISO work closely together to ensure that the standards are synchronized.
Universal Character Set Computers originated in the USA where English is the dominant language. Computers thus basically use a character set that is biased toward English (the ASCII character set). As computers became used in other cultures where other characters (such as ö, ë, ù, é in some European languages) are used, the basic set was extended to include these characters. This extended character set is known as ISO 8895. However, even this extended ASCII character set is not enough to cope with all the variety of characters found in the many different languages of the world. The UCS was formalized and contains thousands of characters used by communities all over the world (also see Unicode).

Universal Multiple Octet Coded Character Set
Abbreviation for Unicode term: Universal Character Set which is specified by International Standard ISO/IEC 10646. Sometimes also used as Unicode Character Standard.
From Requirements for String Identity Matching and String Indexing ( 1998-07-10) Universal Character Set, the character repertoire defined in parallel by [ISO 10646] and [Unicode].
Universal Character Set. the coded character set defined by Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646, intended to support all commonly used characters from all writing systems, current and past.
Unicode Character System. An international standard character set reference that is part of the Unicode standard. The most widely held existing version of the UCS standard is UCS-2, which specifies 16-bit character values currently accepted and recognized for use to encode most of the world's languages.
