THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM
The Unicode Consortium was founded as a non-profit organization in
1991. It is dedicated to the development, maintenance and promotion
of The Unicode Standard, a worldwide character encoding. The Unicode
Standard encodes the characters of the world's principal scripts and
languages, and is code-for-code identical to the international
standard ISO/IEC 10646. In addition to cooperating with ISO on the
future development of ISO/IEC 10646, the Consortium is responsible
for providing character properties and algorithms for use in
implementations. Today the membership base of the Unicode Consortium
includes major computer corporations, software producers, database
vendors, research institutions, international agencies and various
user groups.
For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode
Web site at http://www.unicode.org or e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
