The Unicode Consortium is the premier standards body for the internationalization of all software and services. Today, most people take for granted that their phones and computers can display text in any of hundreds of languages, handle dates, times, numbers, currencies in familiar local formats, and faithfully send emoji-laden messages to friends using any device.
That wasn’t always the case, and it didn’t happen by accident.
For 30 years, the Unicode Consortium has coordinated the efforts of a worldwide team of volunteer programmers and linguists to standardize, evolve, and maintain a global software foundation that allows virtually every computer system and service to help people connect using their native language. This has real world consequences.
Today’s global economy runs on networks that reach billions of users around the globe. Databases, commerce engines, websites and shipping systems handle local names, addresses, and text in hundreds of languages from Latin to Cyrillic to Hindi to Japanese – all thanks to Unicode standards and code.
The most compelling rationale was interoperability across the world.
