Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard, [note 1] is a text encoding standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium designed to support the use of text written in all of the world's major writing systems. Version 15.1 of the standard [A] defines 149 813 characters [3] and 161 scripts used in various ordinary, literary, academic, and technical ...
NKo (Unicode block) NKo is a Unicode block containing characters for the Manding languages of West Africa, including Bamanan, Jula, Maninka, Mandinka, and a common literary language, Kangbe, also called NKo . NKo became part of Unicode with version 5.0 in July 2006. With Unicode 11.0 in June 2018, three additional characters were added: a ...
1 Control-C has typically been used as a "break" or "interrupt" key. 2 Control-D has been used to signal "end of file" for text typed in at the terminal on Unix / Linux systems. Windows, DOS, and older minicomputers used Control-Z for this purpose. 3 Control-G is an artifact of the days when teletypes were in use.
Mathematical operators and symbols are in multiple Unicode blocks. Some of these blocks are dedicated to, or primarily contain, mathematical characters while others are a mix of mathematical and non-mathematical characters. This article covers all Unicode characters with a derived property of "Math". [2] [3]
NKo (ߒߞߏ), also spelled N'Ko, is an alphabetic script devised by Solomana Kanté in 1949, as a modern writing system for the Manding languages of West Africa. [1] [2] The term NKo, which means I say in all Manding languages, is also used for the Manding literary standard written in the NKo script. The script has a few similarities to the ...
Unicode character property. The Unicode Standard assigns various properties to each Unicode character and code point. [1] [2] The properties can be used to handle characters (code points) in processes, like in line-breaking, script direction right-to-left or applying controls. Some "character properties" are also defined for code points that ...
Private Use Areas. In Unicode, a Private Use Area ( PUA) is a range of code points that, by definition, will not be assigned characters by the Unicode Consortium. [1] Three private use areas are defined: one in the Basic Multilingual Plane ( U+E000–U+F8FF ), and one each in, and nearly covering, planes 15 and 16 ( U+F0000–U+FFFFD, U+100000 ...
Emoticons is a Unicode block containing emoticons or emoji. [3] [4] [5] Most of them are intended as representations of faces, although some of them include hand gestures or non-human characters (a horned "imp", monkeys, cartoon cats ). The block was first proposed in 2008, and first implemented in Unicode version 6.0 (2010).
