Code2000

Code2000 is a pan-Unicode digital font, which includes characters and symbols from a very large range of writing systems. 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 5.1 standard as practical (whereas 5.2 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 Unicode planes. All fonts are usable in Windows Me at least through Internet Explorer 5.5.

It also includes several scripts not officially recognized, in the Unicode Private Use Area:

• Tengwar (ConScript Unicode Registry)
• Cirth (ConScript Unicode Registry)
• Ewellic (ConScript Unicode Registry)
• Phaistos (ConScript Unicode Registry)
• Klingon (ConScript Unicode Registry)

Code2001

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

Code2001 includes support for:

• Deseret
• Old Italic
• Gothic
• Aegean numbers
• Cypriot syllabary
• Linear B
• Pollard script
• Shavian script
• Ugaritic
• ISO-8859-1 characters

Also included are:

• Old Persian Cuneiform
• Tengwar
• Cirth

These three are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in the Plane Fifteen Private Use Area and the Basic Multilingual Plane. (As noted above, the latter two are also available in Code2000.)

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 Supplementary Ideographic Plane. This is a Supplementary Plane used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ideographs. Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font.
