The Unicode Consortium or Unicode Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that coordinates the development of the Unicode standard. Its stated goal is to eventually enable computers to operate in all languages from around the world. The consortium develops and publishes a list of freely-available ...
The normative behaviors of the Unicode Standard consist of the following list or any other behaviors specified in the conformance clauses:
* Character combination
* Canonical decomposition
* Compatibility decomposition
* Canonical ordering behavior
* Bidirectional behavior, as specified in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm
* Conjoining jamo behavior
* Variation selection
* Normalization
* Default casing
Industry:Computer; Software
A Unicode character property used in the specification of the standard.

A numeric property is a property whose value is a number that can take on any integer or real value.
* An example is the Numeric_Value property. There is no implied limit to the number of possible distinct values for the property, except the limitations on representing integers or real numbers in computers.
Industry:Computer; Software
A property of characters used to represent numbers.
Industry:Computer; Software
Applies to a character that is no longer in current use, but that has been used historically. Whether a character is obsolete depends on context: For example, the Cyrillic letter big yus is obsolete for Russian, but is used in modern Bulgarian. (Not the same as deprecated.)
Industry:Computer; Software
An out-of-band channel conveys additional information about text in such a way that the textual content, as encoded, is completely untouched and unmodified. This is typically done by separate data structures that point into the text.
Industry:Computer; Software
A characteristic of a Unicode character property that may be changed by a higher-level protocol to create desired implementation effects.
Industry:Computer; Software
A normative property whose values may be overridden by conformant higher-level protocols.
* For example, the Canonical_Decomposition property is not overridable. The Uppercase property can be overridden.
Industry:Computer; Software
Greek term for acute accent, used in polytonic Greek character names.
Industry:Computer; Software
The default direction (left or right) of the text of a paragraph. This direction does not change the display order of characters within an Arabic or English word. However, it does change the display order of adjacent Arabic and English words, and the display order of neutral characters, such as punctuation and spaces.
