The easiest way of thinking of Unicode is perhaps as a font encoding; a
font using this encoding would add such things as typeface family, style,
size, kerning (but Unicode probably does not have ligatures), etc., which
then can be used by a graphical rendering system.
The idea is that other protocols should stand for the selection of those
other factors (like a typesetting program or a hypertext protocol, or
something).
