Code2000

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Code2000 is a pan-Unicode digital font, which includes characters and symbols from a very large range of writing systems. It 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 created by Kass which support characters in higher Unicode planes.

The fonts are available as shareware from the author's website.

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

[edit] Code2001

This font covers Unicode Plane One. This is a Supplementary Multilingual Plane, mostly used for historic language scripts.

Code2001 includes support for:

• Old Persian Cuneiform
• Deseret
• Tengwar
• Cirth
• Old Italic
• Gothic
• Aegean numbers
• Cypriot syllabary
• Linear B
• Pollard script
• Shavian script
• Ugaritic

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.

[edit] Code 2002

This font covers Unicode Plane Two. This is a Supplementary Plane used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ideographs. Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font.
