	Unicode
		It is the explicit aim of Unicode to transcend the limitations of traditional character encodings such as those defined by the ISO 8859 standard, which are used in the various countries of the world, but are largely incompatible with each other.
		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.
		MIME defines two different mechanisms for encoding non-ASCII characters in e-mail, depending on whether the characters are in e-mail headers such as the "Subject:" or in the text body of the message.

		The Giga Character Set is a display code scheme created by Coventive Technologies, which claims to overcome Unicode's perceived (additional info and facts about CJKV) CJKV flaws.
		Instead of assigning (Code using a string of 8 binary digits to represent characters) binary codes to characters, GCS is a set of (additional info and facts about encryption algorithm) encryption algorithms (one per language) that are used to transition between (A human written or spoken language used by a community; opposed to e.g.

	The secret life of Unicode (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This set of characters is referred to as Han, because it originated in China during the Han dynasty.
		Ideally, Han characters could be encoded by their radicals rather than as entire ideographs; this would make it easier to do sorts and to compose characters on the fly.
		Competing character sets like TRON claim to be "limitlessly extensible." GCS cites character limits as Unicode's primary weakness, and addresses it by using encryption algorithms instead of code points.

		I had put work into that article, and it was in an subject I'm interested in.
		But the Giga Character Set was such a bogus piece of fluff, one article full of crap that nothing ever came of.
		I almost wish it hadn't been deleted, but it was probably the right thing.

	Encyclopedia: Giga Character Set (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Giga Character Set is a supposed display code scheme announced by Coventive Technologies in 2000.
		It claims to overcome Unicode's perceived CJKV flaws.
		As of 2005, Coventive has never published the details of Giga Character Set for examination, nor has it ever been implemented in any publicly available application.

	Unicode (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Hypothetically, (precomposed e with macron and acute above) and (e followed by the combining macron above and combining acute above) are identical in appearance, both giving an e with macron and acute accent, but appearance can vary greatly across software applications.
		There are several reasons for this: applications and documents rarely need to render characters from more than one or two writing systems; fonts tend to be demanding of resources in computing environments; and operating systems and applications are becoming increasingly intelligent in regard to obtaining glyph information from separate font files as they are needed.
		Unicode special character map is similar to the Windows version.

	Coventive creates new display code to internationalize Linux (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The 16-bit code allows for 65,536 different characters (2 to the 16th power), and all languages are assigned a range of Unicode for its language letters, symbols, or characters.
		In some languages, for example, new scientific terms are typically represented by newly formed characters that, although formed as composites of existing characters, would need to be assigned a new numerical value or display code.
		When natural languages are being processed with a full set of available fonts, the traditional display code approach was simply a behemoth look-up table for each basic character in many different fonts.
