An accurate idea of the scope of Unicode is best found on this page: http://www.unicode.org/consortium/consort.html > Can it ever change?

While delicately preserving respectful cooperation, Unicode has gained a thorough leadership in character encoding and process standardization engineering. And it is an autonomous consortium of powerful companies and renowned institutions. > How can a person apply for the scope of Unicode to become changed please? Individuals cannot apply for changes, but they can submit feedback, suggestions, and proposals, and they are granted free access to registers and archives, which all is already an enormous privilege. This is the more striking as several recent threads on this List pointed opposite practice at the other above invoked standards body. Kind regards, Marcel
