For the back cover "Digital Dharma" page of the next issue of our international magazine, Hinduism Today, I'm writing a 1/3 page article on Unicode with a focus on fonts, now that Tiger has added Tamil to their list of supported Unicode languages.

I need as non-geeky an explanation as I can get without dumbing it down so far that the information is useless.

Added boon: This might even help me me figure out what is going on inside Revolution with Unicode, and possibly resolve some of the mysteries (read "headaches") we're having moving text from InDesign to raw ascii- - XML to BBEdit, to Revolution and back again...

OF course, I will dig the web myself, but if any of you unicode wizards can supply me (offlist) with URLs, a layperson's description or a reference, I would very much appreciate it. even a few one-5 liner metaphoric descriptions to help visualize it could be useful.

"UTF-8" and "UTF-16" means something like "Unidentified Torch Flowers--8 of them..." to me today ... but I hope to correct this understanding shortly. (smile)
