  Unicode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unicode is an industry standard whose goal is to provide the means by which text of all forms and languages can be encoded for use by computers.
Unicode has the explicit aim of transcending the limitations of traditional character encodings, such as those defined by the ISO 8859 standard which get wide use in various countries of the world, but remain largely incompatible with each other.
Unicode is criticized for failing to allow for older and alternate forms of kanji, which, it is said, complicates the processing of ancient Japanese and uncommon Japanese names, although it follows the recommendations of Japanese scholars of the language and of the Japanese government.

 Unicode - Wikipedia
In computing, Unicode is the international standard whose goal is to specify a code matching every character needed by every written human language to a single unique integer number, called a code point.
Furthermore, ranges of characters have been tentatively blocked out for every known unencoded script (see [1]), and while Unicode may need another plane for ideographic characters, there are ten planes that could only be needed if previously unknown scripts with tens of thousands of characters are discovered.
Unicode is also criticized for failing to allow for older and alternate forms of kanji, this complicates the processing of ancient Japanese and uncommon Japanese names.

 Proposed script codes for the ConScript Unicode Registry
The following is a suggested assignment of ISO 15924:2004 script codes to the 41 “constructed” scripts registered in, or proposed for, the ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR).
These user-defined alphabetic and numeric script codes fall within the ISO 15924 range marked “Reserved for private use,” just as the characters in the scripts are assigned to code points within the Private Use Area of Unicode.
For more information about the ConScript Unicode Registry, visit the CSUR home page or contact Michael Everson or John Cowan.

The occurrence of a character in the tehtar range, depicted with relation to a dashed circle, constitutes an assertion that this character is intended to be applied via some process to the consonantal character that precedes it in the text stream.
In accordance with Unicode specifications, however, the tehtar are encoded as non-spacing characters, and so must follow the consonant over which they appear.

U+F000 was picked as the starting 39 point since it lets the direct-mapping area start on a large power of 40 two (in case 1024- or 2048-character fonts ever become necessary).
This encoding was later 88 adopted by the ConScript Unicode Registry and proposed (but ultimately 89 rejected) for inclusion in Unicode Plane 1.
