That seems unlikely. Also, it's not that different from
std.windows, std.linux, etc.
From http://www.unicode.org/policies/logo_policy.html :
You may use the Unicode Word Mark to refer to the Unicode®
Standard, to other Unicode® specifications, tools and code, and
to Unicode® seminars, tutorials, meetings, and events, so long as
any such references (a) are truthful, fair, and not misleading,
and (b) follow these Guidelines.
Always use “Unicode” as an adjective followed by an
appropriate noun. Do not use “Unicode” alone as a noun. Do not
pluralize it or make it possessive, and do not alter its spelling.
Use the ® symbol to indicate that the Unicode Mark is a
registered trademark. The symbol should be used in all prominent
references to the Unicode Mark, such as headlines, chapter
titles, packaging, advertising, etc. The symbol should also be
used in the first reference to the Unicode Mark in body copy, but
may thereafter be omitted in body copy.
Use the appropriate Trademark Legend (see below) in the
footnotes or footers of any material making reference to the
Unicode Mark.
Incorrect: Unicode
Correct: The Unicode® Standard
I was rather surprised by this.
