I'm afraid that you are comparing apples and Walmart.
Unicode is a standard for encoding characters.
ISO is an organisation that _creates_ standards for just about anything.
Unicode became a standard as a result of beating other competing standardisations.
ISO declares that whatever they came up with is the standard, no competition required.
Hence the effectiveness of the business model.
