Letters in most European languages, numbers, and the basic unified CJK ideograph sets (CJK -- from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems), have a 2-byte representation. Initially, JavaScript was based on UTF-16 encoding that only allowed 2 bytes per character. But 2 bytes only allow 65536 combinations and that's not enough for every possible symbol of Unicode.
