'''Code2000''' is a pan-[[Unicode typefaces|Unicode digital font]], which includes [[Grapheme|characters]] and symbols from a very large range of [[writing system]]s. As of the current version 1.171 released in 2008, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the [[Unicode|Unicode 5.1 standard]] as practical (whereas 6.0 is the currently-released version), and to support [[OpenType]] digital typography features. Code2000 supports [[Basic Multilingual Plane]], while '''Code2001''' and '''Code2002''' as related fonts created by James Kass, supports characters in higher [[Mapping of Unicode character planes|Unicode planes]]. All fonts are usable in [[Windows Me]] at least through RTF format in Wordpad and through [[Internet Explorer 5.5]].

Code2000 was released as [[shareware]]/[[donationware]], with the licensing fee set at $5.00. Code2001 was released under a [[free software license]] that prohibited most [[derivative work]]s but otherwise allowed free use, redistribution and [[font embedding|embedding]]. The project was discontinued in 2008, with its web ___domain name later taken by an Australian [[Computer programming|programming]] site.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://code2000.net/ |title=Last archive copy of James Kass' website |access-date=December 26, 2011 |archive-date=January 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110108105420/http://code2000.net/ |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref>

On September 13, 2023, after 15 years of inactivity, Kass relaunched the project and began work on updating the fonts.<!-- see the link in "External links" -->

The fonts are available as unrestricted [[shareware]] from the author's website.

It also includes several scripts not officially recognized, in the Unicode [[Mapping of Unicode characters#Private use characters|Private Use AreaAreas]]:

*[[Tengwar]] ([[ConScript Unicode Registry]])

*[[Cirth]] (ConScript Unicode Registry)

*[[Ewellic alphabet|Ewellic]] (ConScript Unicode Registry)

*[[Phaistos]] (ConScript Unicode Registry)

*[[Klingon language|Klingon]] (ConScript Unicode Registry)

== Code2001==

This is a second font in the ''Code 2000'' family. It covers the Unicode Plane One [[Mapping of Unicode character planes#Supplementary Multilingual Plane|Supplementary Multilingual Plane]], mostly used for historic language scripts. The majority of these glyphs are not found in ''Code 2000''.

''Code2001'' includes support for:

Line 175 ⟶ 187:

*[[Cypriot syllabary]]

*[[Phoenician alphabet|Phoenician]]

*[[Byzantine Musical Symbols]]

*Musical Symbols

*Tai[[Tài XuanXuán JingJīng]] Symbols

*[[Counting rods|Counting Rod]] Numerals

*[[Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols]] (including the ones in the Letter-like Symbols block)

*Domino Tiles

As the font ceased updating in 2008, it does not include the [[emoji]], added to Unicode in version 6.0, that make up the best-known and most commonly used characters in the set.

This font covers a few characters in the Unicode Plane Two [[Mapping of Unicode character planes#Supplementary Ideographic Plane|Supplementary Ideographic Plane]]. It also covers a few tags in Unicode Plane Fourteen [[Mapping of Unicode character planes#Supplementary Special-purpose Plane|Supplementary Special-purpose Plane]].

Also included are:

*[[Tengwar]]

*[[Cirth]]

*[[Pollard script]]

The first two are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in the Plane Fifteen Private Use Area and the [[Mapping of Unicode character planes#Basic Multilingual Plane|Basic Multilingual Plane]]. (As noted above, the former two are also available in ''Code2000''.) The Pollard Script is approvedin forUnicode Unicodenow, butso itits won'tspot beis in until version 6.1deprecated.

==Code2002 ==

This is a third font in the ''Code 2000'' family. The glyphs in this font are not part of either ''Code 2000'' or ''Code 2001''.

This font partially covers the Unicode Plane Two [[Mapping of Unicode character planes#Supplementary Ideographic Plane|Supplementary Ideographic Plane]]. This is a Supplementary Plane used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean [[ideograph]]s. Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font.
