The Unicode Standard Version 3.0

The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0 is THE authoritative source of information on the Unicode character-encoding standard, which makes it possible to create global software and share data across languages, nations, and locales worldwide. Encompassing all of the world's widely-used scripts and character sets, Unicode represents the foundation for international software; it is already supported by Java TM, Windows NT/2000, NetWare, QuickDraw GX, and many other environments and applications. This authorized guide documents all essential elements of Unicode 3.0, including its basic principles, code charts, implementation techniques, and rules for conformance. It contains up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest scripts included in Unicode 3.0, as well as more than a decade's implementation experience from the world's leading experts in multilingual applications.
