'''Code2000''' is a [[serif font|serif]] and 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 final version 1.171176 released in 20082023, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the [[Unicode|Unicode 515.21 standard]] as practical (whereaswith 815.01 isbeing the currently-released version), and to support [[OpenType]] digital typography features. Code2000 supports the [[Basic Multilingual Plane]]. '''Code2001''' andwas designed to support the [[Supplementary Multilingual Plane]], with [[ISO 8859-1]] characters shared with Code2000 for compatibility. A third font, '''Code2002''', relatedwas betaleft fontssubstantially createdunfinished byand Jamesnever Kass,officially support characters in higher [[Unicode planes]]released.

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]].

'''Code2000''' is a [[serif font|serif]] and 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 final version 1.171 released in 2008, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the [[Unicode|Unicode 5.2 standard]] as practical (whereas 8.0 is the currently-released version), and to support [[OpenType]] digital typography features. Code2000 supports the [[Basic Multilingual Plane]]. '''Code2001''' and '''Code2002''', related beta fonts created by James Kass, support characters in higher [[Unicode planes]].

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 Code2000 font was available as unrestricted [[shareware]], and the Code2001 and Code2002 fonts as [[freeware]], from the author's website until January 2011. The website subsequently went down, and the ___domain name was later taken by an Australian [[Computer programming|programming]] site. {{As of|2011|December}} there is no known official download site for the fonts.
