Designer(s) James Kass
Variations Code2001, Code2002

Code2000 is a digital font which includes characters and symbols from a very large range of writing systems. The font is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the Unicode 4.0 standard as possible, and to support OpenType digital typography features. Code2001 and Code2002 are related fonts which support characters in higher Unicode planes.

The font is available as shareware from the author's website.

Other well-known Unicode fonts include Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, TITUS Cyberbit Basic and the Free software Unicode fonts.

[edit] Code2001

James Kass has also created Code2001, a freeware test font for Unicode's Plane One (the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, mostly used for historic language scripts).

Code2001 includes support for:

ISO-8859-1 characters are also included, as per the specifications.

Old Persian Cuneiform, Tengwar, and Cirth are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in Private Use Areas, both in the Basic Multilingual Plane and Plane Fifteen.
