The Unicode standard is of special interest to countries and ethnic groups with written languages that use characters other than those in the Latin alphabet. You can learn all about the Unicode standard and the languages it supports at sites such as the Arabic Scientific Alliance Web page (www.asca.com/unicode.html). Interesting articles about Unicode have been written, including one at the Chinese Software Digest site, www.gy.com/www/ww1/ww2/unne.htm. For the most up-to-date information on Unicode, visit the Unicode Consortium Web page at www.unicode.org.
