ASCII and Unicode Character Sets

This video describes the fundamental principles of character sets, character encoding, ASCII and Unicode. In particular, it covers the limitations of ASCII and the plethora of extended ASCII code pages. It also covers the design goals of Unicode, and describes the way control bits are allocated in the variable length, multi-byte character encoding of the Unicode Transformation Format, namely UTF-8.

I came here from Computerphile's Tom Scott video explaining the idea of Unicode. This video perfectly explains the system in appropriate depth. I would always be thankful for these channels.

What happens when we theoretically run out of all the space we had to encode character? Also how are new characters added to unicode?
