Options for the presentation of multilingual text: use of the Unicode standard

Abstract

The use of Unicode/10646 will increase dramatically in the coming few years for many reasons. Use of the Internet has increased awareness of the problems inherent in the use of multiple character set standards. It has also increased the potential audience for HTI‐created texts. The standard was created by and has been embraced in the computer industry. Many products have come on the market with support for some or all of the standard; Microsoft‘s use of UTF‐8 and Unicode, especially in Windows NT, is a boost to the mainstreaming of such products.
