Arial Unicode, or Arial Unicode MS is an extended version of Arial. So what does “extended” mean? In this case, Arial is a single-byte font that has a simple subset of standard characters. Arial Unicode, on the other hand is a Unicode font that includes everything Arial contains, but it also adds enough glyphs to encompass almost all language characters, thus covering a large subset of Unicode 2.1.
