A universal cycle (u-cycle) is a compact listing of a collection of combinatorial objects. In this paper, we use natural encodings of these objects to show the existence of u-cycles for collections of subsets, restricted multisets, and lattice paths. For subsets, we show that a u-cycle exists for the $k$-subsets of an $n$-set if we let $k$ vary in a non zero length interval. We use this result to construct a “covering” of length $(1+o(1))$$n \choose k$ for all subsets of $[n]$ of size exactly $k$ with a specific formula for the $o(1)$ term. We also show that u-cycles exist for all $n$-length words over some alphabet $\Sigma,$ which contain all characters from $R \subset \Sigma.$ Using this result we provide u-cycles for encodings of Sperner families of size 2 and proper chains of subsets.
