I'm looking for the universal code that is used in compression. I want to know what this code is and how it's applied in the process of compressing data.

    Universal codes for integers in data compression are prefix codes.

    These codes map positive integers onto binary codewords.

    A key property of these codes is that they work well under any monotonic probability distribution on integers.

    Monotonicity means that the probability of an integer i is greater than or equal to the probability of i+1 for all positive i.

    This ensures that the expected lengths of the codewords are optimized, regardless of the true probability distribution.
