Depends how you measure. According to [1], the work kinda began back
then (25 years ago being 1988), but it wasn't till 1991/92 that the
spec was published. Also, the full Unicode range with multiple planes
came about in 1996, with Unicode 2.0, so that could also be considered
the beginning of Unicode. But that still means it's nearly old enough
to drink, so programmers ought to be aware of it.
