The Unicode Standard

Unicode is a standard for electronically encoding characters using only two bytes of information. Use of this standard allows for a unique representation of the characters of all languages and dialects--worldwide. Anyone designing or developing a software product for worldwide use needs this book. The CD provides the electronic files to be used by implementers.

The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit organization founded to develop, extend, and promote the use of the Unicode Standard. The membership of the Consortium represents a broad spectrum of corporations and organizations in the computer and information processing industry. The Unicode Consortium actively cooperates with many of the leading standards development organizations, including ISO/IEC JTC1, W3C, IETF, and ECMA.0201483459AB07232003
