	RFC 3718 (rfc3718) - A Summary of Unicode Consortium Procedures, Policies,
		Unicode Technical Committee Procedures The formal procedures of the UTC are publicly available in a document entitled "UTC Procedures", available from the Consortium, and on the Unicode web site.
		Unicode Technical Committee Motions Technical topics of any complexity never proceed from initial proposal to final ratification or adoption into the standard in the course of one UTC meeting.
		Unicode Consortium Policies Because the Unicode Standard is continually evolving in an attempt to reach the ideal of encoding "all the world's scripts", new characters will constantly be added.

	IDS Evasion with Unicode
		Unicode is managed by the Unicode Consortium and has been adopted by most information technology industry leaders.
		The Unicode Consortium recognized multiple representations to be a problem and has revised the Unicode Standard to make multiple representations of the same code point with UTF-8 illegal.
		Unicode support in applications is a laudable goal, but until the complete security ramifications of the standard are understood, applications should allow the option of turning it off.

	Cover Pages: New Unicode Consortium Technical Report on Unicode Security Considerations.
		Unicode is the basis for XML: legal XML characters "are tab, carriage return, line feed, and the legal characters of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646, and all XML processors must accept the UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings of Unicode 3.1.
		In March 2005, the Unicode Consortium announced the release of Version 4.1.0 of the Unicode Standard.
		The release of Unicode 4.1 [was to be] soon followed by a new release of the Unicode Collation Algorithm, for language-sensitive sorting, searching, and matching; by Unicode Regular Expressions, setting the standard for handling Unicode character in regular expressions; and by a new draft of Unicode Security Considerations.

	Main Articles: 'Unicode and Historic Scripts', Ariadne Issue 37
		One goal of Unicode is to cover all the scripts of the world, both historic and modern; it has enough space to cover over one million characters.
		Unicode offers a productive means of composing characters by using combinations of a base letter and a combining diacritic (for example, if one needed an "M" with a macron above it, it is covered by the capital letter "M" U+004D and a combining macron, U+0304).
		Unicode is the underlying standard upon which fonts, keyboards, and software are based, so in order to be able to type and send documents with these scripts and their characters, users need to have Unicode-compliant products.

	[Stoa Consortium] Unicode Polytonic Greek for the World Wide Web (UPGW3)
		Unicode is a universal standard for character encoding, developed and published by the Unicode Consortium, that permits millions of separate characters to be referenced with one standard: enough for all the alphabets, syllabaries, logographic and mixed scripts used by modern readers as well as a large number of ancient scripts.
		Unicode is a universal standard maintained by the International Standards Organization and the international Unicode Consortium, a standard which has been adopted by the internation World Wide Web Consortium as the standard method of encoding text for World Wide Web documents.
		Unicode includes ranges for basic Greek and Coptic, extended Greek characters, and combining diacriticals, which together allow for the representation of all character and diacritical combinations in the polytonic classical Greek writing system.

	Using International Characters in Internet Mail
		Unicode Standard if for no other reason than to get a handle on the terminology used in the discussion of internationalization.
		The Unicode Consortium has defined a way to label the language of text that is encoded in the Unicode Standard.
		However, Unicode Language Tags should only be used with plain text body parts that have more than one language; they should not be used with body parts that have a single language, nor should they be used with structured text body parts such as those coded with HTML.

	A Quick Primer On Unicode and Software Internationalization Under Linux and UNIX
		The Unicode (R) Consortium is a registered trademark, and Unicode (TM) is a trademark of Unicode, Inc. Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds.
		Unicode solves the problems of multiple encodings by assigning unique code points to the letters and ideographs of all of the world's modern language scripts and commonly used symbols.
		Unicode code points in the Basic Multilingual Plane above the ASCII range are serialized to two or three bytes (additional planes exist in Unicode, which can produce serializations of up to six bytes).

	The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No ...
		Unicode was a brave effort to create a single character set that included every reasonable writing system on the planet and some make-believe ones like Klingon, too.
		There is no real limit on the number of letters that Unicode can define and in fact they have gone beyond 65,536 so not every unicode letter can really be squeezed into two bytes, but that was a myth anyway.
		Well, technically, yes, I do believe it could, and, in fact, early implementors wanted to be able to store their Unicode code points in high-endian or low-endian mode, whichever their particular CPU was fastest at, and lo, it was evening and it was morning and there were already two ways to store Unicode.

	C-Kermit Case Study #08
		Who doesn't know what Unicode is? Now that computing has become so widespread and Web-centric -- a revolution in itself -- we are on the brink of another revolution in computing, one that can have profound effects on all of us and perhaps even on the course of history.
		The Kermit Project has been a member of the Unicode Consortium for years, and now C-Kermit and Kermit 95 support Unicode as transfer character-set, a file character-set, and a terminal character-set.
		You can make a connection from a traditional environment to a Unicode platform (such as Plan 9) and have Kermit translate between your local character-set and Unicode during the terminal session.

	UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ
		Unicode Standard published by the Unicode Consortium corresponds to ISO 10646 at implementation level 3.
		The Unicode consortium used to maintain mapping tables to CJK character set standards, but has declared them to be obsolete, because their presence on the Unicode web server led to the development of a number of inadequate and naive EUC converters.
		X.Org, the official successor of the X Consortium and the Opengroup as the custodian of the X11 standards and the sample implementation, has taken over the results or is still considering them.

	BYTE.com
		So a key part of Unicode's design is to handle that 64-KB space as valuable real estate since it has to support a large number of scripts in one consistent encoding.
		To Unicode, small differences in appearance should be handled as a font issue, not by inventing another character encoding.
		Unicode is stored and retrieved in logical order, which is not necessarily the same as visual order.

	Unicode and multilingual support in HTML, fonts, Web browsers and other applications
		The solution is to leave behind the assortment of 8-bit fonts with their limit of 256 characters, where the same character number can represent a different character in different alphabets, and move to a system that assigns a unique number to each character in each of the major languages of the world.
		Unicode is often referred to as a 16-bit system, which would allow for only 65,536 characters, but this is not correct, and Unicode has the potential to cope with over one million unique characters.
		The current version (4.1) of the Unicode Standard, developed by the Unicode Consortium, assigns a unique identifier to each of 97,720 characters (increased from 96,447 in 4.0 and 95,221 in version 3.2), covering the scripts of the world’s principal written languages and many mathematical and other symbols.

	Test: Unicode
		The two Unicode strings are definitionally entirely equivalent, and it is the Operating System's job to render the latter as the former.
		Unicode 3.2 did not differentiate between capital and lower case lunate sigma.
		Unicode (as of version 3.2, early 2002) differentiates between this koppa (epigraphical) and the numerical koppa; this does not affect the TLG data bank, since the Beta Code distinction between the two koppas is no longer observed.
