Résumé / Abstract : Unicode provides a unique number for each character (text or symbol), across platforms, programs, and languages, ensuring that it is displayed consistently by every computer. The Unicode Standard has been adopted by such industry leaders as Apple, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Sun, Sybase, Unisys, and more. Unicode is required by modern standards such as XML, Java, JavaScript, LDAP, CORBA 3.0, WML, etc. It is supported in most operating systems, all modern browsers, and many other products. Version 5.0 contains the knowledge gained from many years of worldwide implementation experience, and has been enhanced significantly: the text incorporates fifteen years of user feedback, provides thorough answers to the many questions users of Unicode have raised, and is much more accessible, with greatly improved figures and tables, and with the text revised for clarity. Annexes contain 50% new material and provide specifications for important processes such as text normalization and identifier usage.
