'''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 12.0 is the currently-released version), and to support [[OpenType]] digital typography features. Code2000 supports the [[Basic Multilingual Plane]]. '''Code2001''' was a designed to support the [[Supplementary Multilingual Plane]], with [[ISO 8859-1]] characters shared with Code2000 for compatibility. A third font, '''Code2002''', was left substantially unfinished and never officially 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]]. The project was [[abandonware|abandoned]] after 2008, with its Web ___domain name later taken by an Australian [[Computer programming|programming]] site.
