'''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 5.2 is the currently-released version), and to support [[OpenType]] digital typography features. ItCode2000 is the only font still usable in WIndows[[Windows Me]] which supports only [[Basic Multilingual Plane]]. '''Code2001''' and '''Code2002''' are related fonts created by James Kass which support characters in higher [[Mapping of Unicode character planes|Unicode planes]].

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

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.
