 | What is Unicode? I found it to contain very helpful information. Too
bad I don't understand the rest of the information contained in this
website, other wise, I would probably read more of it. However, I was able
to pick out another question, although, it may not be used on our quiz,
because it is rather lengthy, but maybe you will find it useful. I will
basically cut and paste the answer because it is rather lengthy. |

| Unicode FAQs : This website
basically what it does is provide a brief overview of Unicode. Also, it
answers some pretty basic questions about Unicode. It also contains a
Reference and Resources page that have links to some specific topics such
as the Users Guide: Unicode Basics and a Unicode overview. If you click on
any of the links it’ll take you to a tutorial like page in which it will
explain everything about that topic. The page is nothing fancy but, it
does explain any Unicode question very well. |

| Unicode Home Page : This has to be
one of the best sites in gathering information about the fairly new and
developing encoding system, Unicode Standard. The site starts off by
giving you a link to explain exactly what Unicode is. The site goes off by
giving you another link as to how to use their site. It makes it easier to
find what you are looking for about Unicode. It gives you general
information such as products that are using it and other useful resources
such as fonts and libraries. Because the Unicode Standard is still a work
in progress, the site even gives you links for you to submit or propose
certain symbols or characters to be used in the Unicode Standard encoding
system. I found this site to be very useful and educational. |

| Microsoft Unicode Codepage
The following website lists the character codes that are supported by
Windows for different languages. The site has codepages for Chinese,
Japanese, Greek, Latin, etc.
All you have to do is click on the language that you want and it gives you
the codepage for that language and a list of all the character codes.
It is very easy to navigate since the website is a listing and once you
click on it, it gives you the codepage and you just scroll down the list
of character codes. If you wanted to code in another language using
Unicode this would be a good reference site. |

| Unicode is defined as a character encoding standard. Currently the version of unicode contains most of the writing in use as of today. Making up 65,536 characters, Unicode was originally intended to use two bytes, 16 bits, to represent each of the characters. Unicode Consortium has come to an agreement for future use the first 21 bits of an available 32 will be used. Unicode is by far the most widely adopted user encoding. |

| This site provides an in depth explanation of Unicode. It has a wealth of information available on the topic from the Unicode basics, to advanced topics for Unix, Linux, Perl, and C. It is presented in a convenient FAQ format, which makes it easy to find the information you need quickly. All explanations are in plain English, and very thorough. This is a very useful site.

| It helped me understand more about what the UNICODE really is and how it has improved over the past years. If you go through the tutorials and the tables you will be able to get a better understanding of where we are really standing today. |

| It is an article from 2003, but still it's helpful. The author is trying to convince people of how iimportant and necessary is to have a code that could read all languages in order to comunicate easily. However, I don't believe that he understands how hard it would be to make a code with different characters for every language in this world. He gives a good or understandable explanation of how unicode works and why it is so importandt to adopt it. |

| I found this to be a very good website because it gives you a little history and then a brief but effective piece of information about UNICODE. |
