Dear Sir/Madam,
  
  Recently, I have heard of that all the 
Uighur (also called Uyghur, which is more standard in Uyghur Langauage) language 
letters are already in the Unicode Standard 3.1. I have seen all the Uyghur 
letters in: 
1. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf
    2. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf
    3. 
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFE70.pdf
  But, I could not find some of them within 
any font sets of Windows98/XP/2000. Could you tell me where can I find a font 
set (ex:Like Lucida Sans Unicode) in which I can find The Unicode Standard 3.1's 
Uyghur letters?(A font that contains all codes points within The Unicode 
Standard 3.1.)

available in The Unicode Standard 3.0, but I found all of them in The Unicode

we are development firm who require to build a site 
that is to display information in multiple languages. (for ex: english, german 
and french).  After doing some study and analysis we have come to know that 
using of unicode with SQL Server 2000 (has inbuild support for unicode) and ASP 
we can accomplish our requirement.  
 
What we required as information or clarification is 
that, is it required that we have to store the information to be displayed in 
the all the 3 languages or can we store the information in one language and 
use the same data for display in the different languages by using unicode 
conventions and supportive parameters like CODEPAGE directive etc.
 
 
Your help in this regards will be highly

Could you please mention a Unicode font that comes 
in not only regular, but also bold, italic and bold italic styles? I already 
know of one: Times New Roman. Unfortunately, for most other “Unicode fonts” 
I’ve seen the word processor has to produce bold and italic looks by for 
instance leaning the font in the case of the italic style… I’m looking for a

Hello,

We are working with a client who is a publisher of Chinese medical
textbooks. 
Our goal is to set up a configuration that will allow layout of English,

Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese characters in a single
document. 
The publisher is hoping to find a solution via a combination of Windows
2000, 
Unicode fonts, and FrameMaker + SGML.

At an Adobe seminar not too long ago, the publisher was informed by an
Adobe 
rep that yes, FrameMaker + SGML will support Unicode with Chinese
characters. 
Just last week, I received a message that NO version of FrameMaker
supports 
Chinese language under Unicode. I have not been able to reach Adobe
since 
then for clarification.

Your Web site does not list FrameMaker + SGML under Enabled products.
Does 
anyone at the Consortium know for a certainty whether FrameMaker does in
fact 
support the use of Chinese characters with a Unicode font? If it does
not, 
can someone kindly suggest a publishing application solution that does 
support this capability? (i.e., Pagemaker, Quark, etc.)

Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 5:19 PM

Subject: 6 questions


Hello,

These are the questions I wanted to
ask: 

1.  Why does Unicode say that there are 63486 code
values available to represent characters with single
16 bit values and 2048 available to represent an
additional 1,048,544 characters as surrogates? 65536 -
2048 = 63488 (difference of 2) --I guess it's due to
the 2 code values guaranteed not to be characters. But
what about: 1024 x 1024 = 1,048,576 (difference of
32), what accounts for the 32?

2.  CNS = chinese national standard? Why is there a
chinese standard for japanese small variant forms
(ch14, page 334 of Unicode 3.0 book)? Do CJK
ideographs have small variant forms? Where are they? 

3.  Why don't "noBreak" formatted Unicode characters
have a canonical decomposition (the compatibility
decomposition surrounded by glue)?

4.  Greek final sigma is not considered a compatibility
decomposition (word position variant) because it's
usage could also be dependant on spelling convention?
Is that right? Even if so, isn't it more consistent to
precede sigma with a non joiner if you don't want it
to automatically be displayed as final sigma at the
end of a word? 

5.  How come east asian width type W and H are non
starters for line breaking? 

6.  Why does Unicode use "capital" vs "small letter"
terminology instead of "uppercase" vs "lowercase"? It
seems like lowercase is more descriptive than "small
letter".

I am currently quite confused about the link between Unicode and

saved.
I have a Microsoft Active Server Page which is saved as an ANSI
file.In this file I specify that it should use UTF8 encoding. The data
(text) that is put into the page when it is created by the server is
stored as unicode. The problem is that when it reaches a browser it
seems to have been converted to Western European format, if I change the
encoding back to UTF it display funny characters. Is this because the
file is an ANSI file and WIndows is doing a conversion to the most
appropriate format behind my back? Do I need to save a file as unicode
as well as specifying utf8 encoding to properly display unicode on the
web?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Subject: Unicode in Asia Question


Hi:

My company is planning to implement 16-bit Unicode.  The proposal is to
go strictly and solely with Unicode (16 bit Unicode for Asia/Japan).

Up to this point we have specified the following encodings:
- Big 5 (Traditional Chinese)
- GB 2312 (Simplified Chinese)
- Shift - JIS (Japanese)
- KSC 5601 1967 (Korean)
- Iso-8859-1 (Western character sets)
- Unicode (we believe this is used for Russian)

I do not fully understand the need for the various encodings.  I believe
there are local preferences for browsers (vendors, versions, plugins,
etc.) that are related to encoding. I have also heard there is some
need, in Japan for example, where web users routinely view the HTML
source and expect Shift-JIS.

Can you confirm what browser preferences (encoding driven) are user
musts? By this I mean IE 4.0+, Netscape, Mosiac, KK Man & etc..  And,
what are the customer needs that would make an specific encoding
(Unicode, Big 5, GB 2312 or KSC 5601 1967) a must?

The basic question I'm trying to answer is if we move forward with using
strictly Unicode, will my customers in Asia be adversely affected by
this decsion?  Will they not be able to view content I place on my
website.

Panose is a kind of font classification

It defines a number of font attributes, which allow 
to group fonts by certain characteristics.
We try to find out, whether this is an open 
standard in the meantime, as was mentionend as a chance on some older Panose

As a matter of fact one web site assumed that the

Anyhow - could you help me in finding out, who owns

FW: Greek accents printing problem -- MS or HP problem?

[Magda Danish (Unicode)]

Can someone please help this person.

"I own a Comp USA Home Series Computer, use Juno as a Web service
provider, and print with a Hewlett Packard OfficeJet Model 600.  The
operating system that came with the computer is Microsoft Windows 98.
Through Juno's customer service I was able to get settings fixed as
shown on the Greek font help that the Tufts University Perseus web site
offered.  However, although the Hewlett Packard Printer does print the
Greek characters when I print out Iliad text, it does not print out the
accents. The accents do appear on the computer screen.[...]

As I indicated, the Juno people were able to walk me through the
following business "choose Latin basedthen select Lucida Sans
Unicode in the left-hand scrollbox and Lucida Console in the right-hand
scrollbox." 
But I still don't get the accents printed correctly.  Can anyone help? 

Thanks.

Thank you for your prompt response, Magda, but the problem will not be
solved until my printer actually prints correctly.  I have tried and
tried with Hewlett Packard, and have gotten absolutely nowhere.  Latest
attempt was at 208-323-2551, with a "Lisa" - talked with her and a
supervisor, but they knew absolutely nothing, and didn't have anything
whatsoever to offer as to where to try.  They 
thought the problem was software, and thought the HP OfficeJet 600
should be able to print the accents if the printer were receiving the
right commands.  Again, remember the printer prints Greek characters,
but without the proper accents.  Magda, given that you are an
administrator, is it possible to have someone take ownership of this
until the problem is actually solved? Can it be assigned to a
technician?  and do you folks have 
access to conference calling?  I am at my wit's end, having 
gotten nowhere with vendor, Unicode, Microsoft, HP...

[]

I have Office 97, but haven't really used it that much on my personal
computer, but if I am told authoritatively that I must get a Microsoft
upgrade to handle the items I have been talking about I will consider
it.  But I doubt that it should be necessary.  I get to menus that (I
think) should produce the accents, but they don't, not even on the
screen. 

That's a lot of request, but, Magda, I cannot help but feel I've already
paid for or am paying for the capability if I could only get to the
right know-how.  I will be deeply grateful if you and your technical
people can help to finally get the desired result.  Thanks!

Hi there 

I am a software developer, currently trying to develop a
javascript based equation editor (an interface to create equations).
For that i needed certain greek symbols,  which i happily derived from
the unicode character set.  It worked on my machine on IE5.5 and
Netscape 6 both.

But while testing more exhaustively, i got to know that the
interoperability between machines or browsers has to be accomplished,
i.e. it is not something that can be assumed to be present on the client
machine.

Let nme describe the exact nature of problem, 

1. The client requirement is that the symbols should be
available to the user as such on the button labels and not the names.
e.g. if a button is supposed to insert (theeta) in the equation, the
button for that purpose should itself bear the symbol (theeta) and not
the name "Theeta".

2.  While trying to accomplish that, certain unicode characters
(θ for theta ) etc, were found to be shown on the web page ( my
preview pane, precisely a DIV which is refreshed on every button click
), but not on the buttons ( as their labels ).

3. On certain machines, the characters were not at all visible,
i mean none of the positions, neither on the buttons as label, nor on
the preview pane properly.

About machines- The machines referred above are all p-III 256 MB
ram systems running Win NT 4.0. this behaviour is similar on both ie and
netscape.

When i started hunting for the problem, i got most of the
information on languages and not on the symbols (which themselves are
from Greek Language).  I couldn't find any links that mention unicode on
buttons as labels.

What i want to know from your techinal expertise is the root
cause of the problem.  Is this a font installation problem, is this a
misconfigured browser or something else.

any type of help would be appreciated.  Links would also do.

Dear colleagues,
 
If it is the right address to send questions, may I ask you the
following:
 
Does the standard of UniCode include standards on alphabetical order for
the letters and other symbols, used in different languages. Our problem
is in Arabic and Persian alphabetical sorting. We are using Microsoft
Word, Excel, Access under Windows 2000, which claims to support UniCode.
If you use Arabic keyboard for input and sort Arabic words everything is
OK. But if you  use Persian keyboard, sorting is done incorrectly:
a) Persian "Kaf" is put after the last letter in alphabet, though it
should be put in the same place where Arabic "Kaf" is.
b) "Vav" is put after "He-havvaz" like it is in Arabic, though it should
be done vice versa in Persian.
 
We are unable to criticize Microsoft until we can refer to a standard.
Is there such a standard?
Are there UniCode standards for keyboards?

download and about 23 MB to install, which makes it somewhat of a
problem to
provide via the internet.  We are hoping we can come up with (or create)
a
character set that encompasses the following code pages:

*   Greek Extended  1F00 - 1FFF
*   Superscripts and Subscripts 2070 - 209F
*   Number Forms2150 - 218F
*   Arrows  2190 - 21FF
*   Mathematical Operators  2200 - 22FF
*   Miscellaneous Technical 2300 - 23FF

and likely 2 or 3 other sets that we have to evaluate.  While some of
our
staff thinks that we should find a way to incorporate Klingon somewhere,
our
management has discouraged this endeavor.  Perhaps there is some
licensing
opportunities for a part of the code set that we could investigate.

As a short term fall-back position, we are planning on mapping special
characters that appear inline (within a paragraph) for which there is no
available TrueType font to a graphic image.  We recognize that
Unicode.org
has some number of these already created.  Is there some way of
licensing
this set of GIFs for use in a commercial endeavor?

I hope you can provide us with some insight into how we may proceed in
both
our short and long term endeavors either through The Unicode Consortium
or
with another organization with similar goals .  As publishers, we
recognize
the pressing need in the internet community to find a common solution to
the
issues associated with language and character resolution on the web and
look
forward to working with your organization in reaching that objective.

Dear Madam/Sir
I hope you would help me with the following problem:
I am trying to write a program that displays Arabic words in DOS mode (Win32

independent).  To achieve this task I using C++ (non-visula).
I converted Arabic TTF fonts into CHR fonts. When I run the program I got 
unlinked Arabic letters instead of whole words.
e.g (ن ض ا ل)instead of
(نضال).
Do you know the cause of this problem? And Is is possible to write in Arabic

in DOS mode where Windows is absent?

Thanks for any help.

The book is about to go to press, and this is my last chance to make any

Dear Sirs,

hora S.R.L. is a small company here in Sibiu. We have begun, in 1991, as a
desktop publishing firm; since 1997 we are also registered as a publishing
house.

For typesetting, we are using TeX exclusively, in the versions of PCTeX
Inc. who have their headquarters near to you, in Mill Valley, CA. When we
began in 1991, TeX was the only typesetting software which could represent
the special Roumanian characters; with some difficulties, that would have
been possible also with WordPerfect, but WordPerfect is practically unknown
here, and the very, very popular MS Word (DOS and Windows versions) ...
let's only say, that in the Word files of our clients we had to struggle
with more than 15 different encodings of Rounmanian letters, as Roumanian
is not supported in the normal TrueType font layout.

Last year, a former employee of ours who now lives in Canada, working in a
desktop publishing firm also there, gave us as a gift Robert Bringhurst's
"The Elements of Typographic Style" (Hartley & Marks, Publishers, 1997). In
that bokk, I read for the first time about Unicode. In the last days, I
studied your Web site, and I could imagine that using fonts which comply
with the Unicode standard would resolve most, when not all of our problems
in this domain (especially for linguistic texts overloaded with diacritics
the typesetting of which probably would have been impossible without TeX).

2) Do you know whether there exist versions of TeX which can handle Unicode

Hi,

I want to sort words as it is usual in "turkish" script, but in addition it
is necessary to sort
accented vowels like "e", "i" and "u", too. That will say these accented
vowels must be sorted in
any of their appearances after the vowels "e", "i" and "u".
E.g. "em ", "ew", "eme", "evar", . "me", "mes", "me", "mes" etc.
I was looking for a sorting algorithm concerning this manner of sorting, but
until yet, I couldn't
find one. (I'm using Microsoft's Word 97, Word 2000 and Access 2000)
This way of sorting is necessary for kurdish (kurmanci and sorani)  texts.

Maybe you can give me an advice?

From: Scott, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: Friday, November 17, 2000 12:16 PM

Subject: Using Unicode with e-mail


Is there any hope for using Unicode in e-mail?  Here's an example to
illustrate.  (I know you aren't going to solve my particular problem, and I
am only asking for a general statement about whether it is even feasible to
use Unicode in e-mail.)

I live in the U.S.A., and I sometimes send e-mail to friends in Sarajevo,
Bosnia, sometimes in English, sometimes in Croatian (a.k.a. Bosnian).  I use
America Online, and they use a variety of ISPs (biharnet.ba, utic.net.ba,
and firstlinux.net).  I would like to use their exact character set,
including the non-English letters with accents over them, when I write to
them in Croatian, and I would like for them to be able to write back the
same way.  I have tried various ways of including these letters to them, but
they never come out correctly at their end.  They have a Croatian keyboard,
but the accented letters don't come through to my end.

For example, here are some Croatian letters that look correct as I compose
this e-mail (using Microsoft Outlook 2000 and Arial CE font):
Cc (upper and lower case C with / accent above)
Cc (upper and lower case C with v accent above)
Dd (upper and lower case D with - accent across vertical line of D and
across top of d)
Ss (upper and lower case S with v accent above)
Zz (upper and lower case Z with v accent above)

Do these look correct to you?

I suspect the basic problem is that the various ISPs and e-mail providers
put e-mail text through a lot of processes, such as changing font sizes,
converting fonts to plain text, and inserting CRLF to fit narrow page
widths.  It seems like a wild west where there is no reason to hope for
Unicode encoding and decoding for a long time to come.

Am I right to be pessimistic, or is there some great secret that will allow
me to use Unicode in e-mail and have my characters look the same when they
arrive as when I sent them?

Dear Sir:

I'm the international business development manager for PSC and have been
tasked with researching the best method for localizing our portable data
collector products. These products are DOS (Datalite) based portable
computers with integrated lasers that read barcodes. They are basically
mini-PCs with proprietary BIOS, but are fully PC compatible. They do not,
however, run Windows because of memory and display limitations. 

We are trying to figure out the best method of integrating Chinese
double-byte font support into our product. We understand that this can be
done by developing a proprietary driver and then purchasing the appropriate
font set. However, we'd like to know other options. I was hoping you could

might exist.

Hi,

Our company is exploring the idea of using Unicode in our web pages.
We ran into a problem that, despite our effort researching for the last two
weeks, we 
are not able to find an answer.  The problem is related to passing text from
an HTML form to the webserver.

From the user's perspective:
. we present the user a web page with a form.
. user fills the form
. user click on "Submit"
. the browser post the data entered to the server

From what I can gather so far, the data flow is followed:
. when the user click on the submit button, the browser
urlencoded the
data using the following algorithm:

The ASCII characters 'a' through 'z', 'A' through 'Z', and '0' through '9'
remain the same. 
The space character ' ' is converted into a plus sign '+'. 
All other characters are converted into the 3-character string "%xy", where
xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the lower 8-bits of the
character. 

The last rule will clip Unicode charater to an 8-bit
representation and
thus the data entered to the HTML form will not make it back to the web
server.

Have you have experience in this area? How does one capture the data
in
an HTML form in Unicode and send it along when user click on the "Submit"
button?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Subject: Implementation of Unicode


Hi, we are a large government organisation in Western Australia and require
some advice on the use and implementation of Unicode.  The business area in
question is the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages which is a government
agency within the Ministry of Justice.  This agency needs to register all
births, deaths and marriages in the state of Western Australia and has a
policy on what characters it will accept and register for a name.  In
summary the policy has forced the use of an old DOS based Code Page Set
(i.e. Latin 850).  The agency would like to continue to restrict input of
names to characters that appear on this Code Page Set.  With the migration
to a new system planned for February 2001 (system will also be available on
the Internet) it is envisaged that we will need to implement Unicode if we
are to continue to use the characters of the Latin 850 Code Page Set.

Given the above, my question is as follows:
*   Is it possible to implement the Unicode standard but easily restrict
the input of characters to those currently available in the Latin 850 Code
Page Set?

*   Further, if we decide in the future to allow other characters to be
input, is there an easy method available to permit the use of the additional
characters?

I look forward to your response.

  to use Chinese (traditional and simplified) characters only therefore I 
  cannot use e.g. Japanese variants.  But because of the CJK unification I 
  don't find all the Chinese forms of the characters I need. What would 
  you recommend to me?  

  2) I tried several 
  Chinese programms (Twinbridge 4.98 with Win2000 update and NJStar communicator 
  2.2) for input of Chinese into Access 2000, but didn't get satisfying results, 
  Microsoft's IME for Windows 2000 is not very convinient for my purpose either. 
  Is there any fully Unicode-compatible software for entering Chinese, which you 
  personally used and had positive expirience with ? ( I had already a look at 
  your page http://www.unicode.org/unicode/onlinedat/products.html 
  !)  

  Thank you 
  !  

  Your earliest reply 
  will be highly appreciated

unificationDear Sir or Madam, 
currently I am compiling a modern Chinese language dictionary using WIndows 
2000 and Office 2000 (English edition). My font is  MS Arial Unicode. 
All my data will be encoded in Unicode and Iwould prefer to stay with it due 
to the future compatibility. I use traditional and simplified Chinese 
characters.

Hello,
I understand that Japanese phone have their own standard - not Unicode.
Can you point me to a conversion between Unicode and the Japanese standard?
Thanks,
