Examples of unary code uses include:

* In [[Golomb Rice code]], unary encoding is used to encode the quotient part of the Golomb code word.

* In [[UTF-8]], unary encoding is used in the leading byte of a multi-byte sequence to indicate the number of bytes in the sequence, so that the length of the sequence can be determined without examining the continuation bytes.

* [[Instantaneously trained neural networks]] use unary coding for efficient data representation.
