Some people do things that make them rich and famous. Others never see the limelight, but create things that make everything else possible.They deserve recognition to.
Two weeks ago, I got a call from a reporter who had stumbled on two pieces I wrote in praise of new releases of the Unicode, the first in 2003 (on the occasion of the release of Unicode 4.0, referred to above), and the second in 2006, two releases later. The reason for the call was the release of Unicode version 8.0 by its stewards, the Unicode Consortium.
What is the Unicode? In the driest sense, it is the computer code used to visually present characters on a screen or in a printout. But in a broader sense, it is what allows the richness of human history, culture, identity and knowledge to remain accessible as the fixed media of the past crumble into dust or (worse) are shredded into pulp as we race, pell mell into the digital future.
