Unicode Unicode is an industry standard designed to allow text and symbols from all of the writing systems of the world to be consistently represented and manipulated by computers. Developed in tandem with the Universal Character Set standard and published in book form as The Unicode Standard, Unicode consists of a character repertoire, an encoding methodology and set of standard character encodings, a set of code charts for visual reference, an enumeration of character properties such as upper and lower case, a set of reference data computer files, and rules for normalization, decomposition, collation and rendering.
Unicode and e-mail Unicode and e-mail are now used together by e-mail clients. However most do not send in Unicode by default, and few systems are likely to be set up with fonts capable of displaying the full range of Unicode characters.
Unicode and HTML The relationship between Unicode and HTML tends to be a difficult topic for many computer professionals, document authors, and web users alike. The accurate representation of text in web pages from different natural languages and writing systems is complicated by the details of character encoding, markup language syntax, font, and varying levels of support by web browsers.
Unicode Consortium The Unicode Consortium, the non-profit organization that coordinates Unicode's development, has the ambitious goal of eventually replacing existing character encoding schemes with Unicode and its standard Unicode Transformation Format (UTF) schemes, as many of the existing schemes are limited in size and scope, and are incompatible with multilingual environments. Unicode's success at unifying character sets has led to its widespread and predominant use in the internationalization and localization of computer software.
Unicode equivalence Unicode contains numerous characters to maintain compatibility with existing standards, some of which are functionally equivalent to other characters or sequences of characters. Because of this, Unicode defines some as equivalent.
Unicode roadmap Although more than 30 writing systems (alphabets, syllabaries, and others) are included in Unicode, there remain many more still awaiting encoding. Michael Everson, Rick McGowan, and Ken Whistler maintain the list of such scripts and their tentative code block assignments on the Unicode Consortium Web site, at http://www.
Unicode subscripts and superscripts Unicode has subscripted and superscripted versions of a number of characters including a full set of arabic numerals. These characters allow any polynomial equation and some other equations to be represented in plain text without using any form of markup like HTML or TEX.
Unicode typefaces Unicode typefaces (also known as UCS fonts and Unicode fonts) contains wide range of characters, letters, digits, glyphs, symbols, ideograms, logograms, etc, which are collectively mapped into Universal Character Set, also known as, UCS (which is an international standard ISO/IEC 10646), derived from many different languages, scripts from all around the world. Thus a single font is able to include a vast range of characters, from different languages.
