Scripts and Character Encoding
EVENT: Overview of Internationalization & Unicode Projects
DATE: September 28, 2022
DESCRIPTION
The effort is still ongoing to identify, research, and represent the scripts used to write the languages of the world - both modern and historic - in the Unicode character encoding.
In this session, Debbie Anderson talks about scripts and character encoding, and the steps and time required to encode a new script. She highlights the impact character that encoding can have in preserving and representing our civilization through our written legacy.
Once the characters in a language are in Unicode, many users ask how the language and characters can be used on computers and phones. (Debbie shows a mockup screenshot of what a phone displaying a date in Hanifi Rohingya might look like). This talk outlines additional steps necessary for using new Unicode characters effectively on devices.
