The Unicode Standard Version 6.2 – Core Specification (Size: 11.06 MB)
Description
This is The Unicode Standard, Version 6.2. It supersedes all earlier versions of the Unicode
Standard. Why Unicode? The Unicode Standard and its associated specifications provide programmers with a single universal character encoding, extensive descriptions, and a vast amount of data about how characters function. The specifications describe how to form words and break lines; how to sort text in different languages; how to format numbers, dates, times, and other elements appropriate to different languages; how to display languages whose written form flows from right to left, such as Arabic and Hebrew, or whose written form splits, combines, and reorders, such as languages of South Asia. These specifications include descriptions of how to deal with security concerns regarding the many “look-alike” characters from alphabets around the world. Without the properties and algorithms in the Unicode Standard and its associated specifications, interoperability between different implementations would be impossible, and much of the vast breadth of the world’s languages would lie outside the reach of modern software. What’s New? Key new features that have been defined and documented since the publication of The Unicode Standard, Version 6.0 include: • additional characters for languages of China, other Asian countries, and Africa • new math characters to support educational needs in the Arabic-speaking world • labels for properties that aid implementation • consolidation of Hangul algorithms • support of new display styles for many emoji characters • improved line-breaking behavior of Hebrew and Japanese text • improved segmentation behavior for Thai, Lao, and similar languages • more fully specified mappings between Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters Support for Languages and Symbol Sets. One new character was added in the Unicode Standard, Version 6.2, the Turkish lira sign. Sharing Widget |
