Code2000
Encyclopedia
Code2000 is a pan-Unicode digital font
, which includes characters and symbols from a very large range of writing system
s. As of the current final version 1.171 released in 2008, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the Unicode 5.2 standard
as practical (whereas 6.0 is the currently-released version), and to support OpenType
digital typography features. Code2000 supports Basic Multilingual Plane, while Code2001 and Code2002 as related beta fonts created by James Kass, supports characters in higher Unicode planes
.
The fonts were available as unrestricted shareware
from the author's website until 2010.
It also includes several scripts not officially recognized, in the Unicode Private Use Area:
Code2001 includes support for:
This font covers a few characters in the Unicode Plane Two Supplementary Ideographic Plane. It also covers a few tags in Unicode Plane Fourteen Supplementary Special-purpose Plane.
Also included are:
The first two are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in the Plane Fifteen Private Use Area and the Basic Multilingual Plane. (As noted above, the former two are also available in Code2000.) The Pollard Script is approved for Unicode, but it won't be in until version 6.1.
This font partially covers the Unicode Plane Two Supplementary Ideographic Plane. This is a Supplementary Plane used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ideograph
s. Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font.
