The Unicode category "Uppercase Letter" encompasses all characters in the Unicode Standard that are recognized as uppercase letters. These characters are primarily used in writing systems around the world to denote the beginning of sentences, proper nouns, and various other syntactic elements that require emphasis or distinction from lowercase letters. Uppercase letters are vital in written communication as they provide structural cues and help convey meaning and organization within text. This category is broad, covering not only the Latin script used in English and many other languages but also a wide array of scripts across different alphabets such as Cyrillic, Greek, Armenian, Gothic, and many more. Unicode assigns specific code points to each uppercase character, ensuring consistent representation of text across different platforms and devices.

In addition to serving a grammatical and structural function, uppercase letters often carry cultural and historical significance.

Beyond traditional alphabets, the Unicode category for uppercase letters also includes characters used in mathematics and technical fields, such as mathematical notations and scientific abbreviations.
