Below is an announcement of a forthcoming conference on Unicode. There are
two days of tutorials, and three days of presentations. This is a good way
to get an introduction to Unicode. (Personal comment: There have been very
few attendees from the university in the past. I am giving a
presentation which will include a demo on a multilingual chatroom being
developed at UC Davis.) Please feel free to circulate this announcement
amongst interested colleagues.
**NOTE**: This year the conference organizer has agreed to make an
academic rate available. If you are interested in attending, please
contact the organizer, Barbara Jarzyna at info@global-conference.com, with
information on which days you wish to attend and she will let you know the
rate.

THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM
The Unicode Consortium was founded as a non-profit organization in 1991.
It is dedicated to the development, maintenance and promotion of The
Unicode Standard, a worldwide character encoding. The Unicode Standard
encodes the characters of the world's principal scripts and languages, and
is code-for-code identical to the international standard ISO/IEC 10646. In
addition to cooperating with ISO on the future development of ISO/IEC
10646, the Consortium is responsible for providing character properties
and algorithms for use in implementations. Today the membership base of
the Unicode Consortium includes major computer corporations, software
producers, database vendors, research institutions, international agencies
and various user groups.
For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode Web
site at http://www.unicode.org or e-mail <info@unicode.org>
