Description

Understanding the world of computer characters has never been more important. At its core, computers work with numbers, but they need a way to represent letters and other characters using these numbers. This is where Unicode comes in - a single mapping system that enables software products and websites to be targeted across multiple platforms, languages, and countries without re-engineering.

Unicode Explained provides a comprehensive guide to this complex character world. The book takes you on a detailed journey through the world of characters, explaining how to identify and classify them, type them, utilize their properties, and process character data in a robust manner. From basic terminology to advanced programming techniques, this reference covers everything you need to know.

With its three-part structure, the book begins with a tutorial presentation of Unicode and character data, before delving into more detailed information about using Unicode and other character codes. The final section covers advanced material, including programming to support Unicode. Whether you're a developer or just looking to understand how characters work in your computer, this book is an essential resource.
