What?



I meant "printed documents", sorry for the typo. The point is that it is meaningless to describe a printed document as Unicode, I suppose unless it is actually printed Unicode names or code points. When a text has been printed, it is marks on paper and there is no way to determine whether it was encoded in Unicode, some legacy encoding, or something invented by someone who is trying to undermine Unicode. So I would understand a Unicode text as being one in electronic form, not a printed one.
