A Unicode font is a computer font that maps glyphs to code points defined in the Unicode Standard. The vast majority of modern computer fonts use Unicode mappings, even those fonts which only include glyphs for a single writing system , or even only support the basic Latin alphabet .
The Free UCS Outline Fonts (also known as freefont) is a font collection project.The project was started by Primož Peterlin and is currently administered by Steve White. The aim of this project has been to produce a package of fonts by collecting existing free fonts and special donations, to support as many Unicode characters as possibl
Regional indicator symbol. The regional indicator symbols are a set of 26 alphabetic Unicode characters (A–Z) intended to be used to encode ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two-letter country codes in a way that allows optional special treatment. These were defined by October 2010 as part of the Unicode 6.0 support for emoji, as an alternative to encoding ...
Musical Symbols is a Unicode block containing characters for representing modern musical notation. Fonts that support it include Bravura, Euterpe, FreeSerif, Musica and Symbola. The Standard Music Font Layout ( SMuFL ), which is supported by the MusicXML format, expands on the Musical Symbols Unicode Block's 220 glyphs by using the Private Use ...
Private Use Areas. In Unicode, a Private Use Area ( PUA) is a range of code points that, by definition, will not be assigned characters by the Unicode Consortium. [1] Three private use areas are defined: one in the Basic Multilingual Plane ( U+E000–U+F8FF ), and one each in, and nearly covering, planes 15 and 16 ( U+F0000–U+FFFFD, U+100000 ...

Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard, [note 1] is a text encoding standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium designed to support the use of text in all of the world's writing systems that can be digitized. Version 15.1 of the standard [A] defines 149 813 characters [3] and 161 scripts used in various ordinary, literary, academic, and ...
Unicode equivalence. Unicode equivalence is the specification by the Unicode character encoding standard that some sequences of code points represent essentially the same character. This feature was introduced in the standard to allow compatibility with preexisting standard character sets, which often included similar or identical characters.
