Unicode Transformation Format Characters

(The UTF-8 character sets)

Note that your ability to see the characters in these charts depends on two things. The first is UTF-8 support at the operating system level. Currently the only operating systems of which I am aware that deliver with UTF-8 support are MacOS, Unix/Linux, and Windows 2000.

The other important thing that is required, given UTF-8 support at the operating system level, is the presence of at least one UTF-8 compliant font. Unfortunately, I know of no fonts which give complete UTF-8 support. The only font with which I have worked directly which comes even close is "Arial Unicode MS" (a Micro$oft creation), in the world of Windows. Arial Unicode, which weighs in at a whopping 27 megabytes, contains some proprietary characters in the "C1 Controls" section of the Latin 1 Supplement, and it also contains incomplete character sets (such as in IPA, Spacing Modifiers, Diacritics, Arabic, Tibetan, etc.), or does not contain any characters at all (such as in Sinhala, Myanmar, Ethiopic, Cherokee, etc.) for many of the character subsets. Presumably there are at least partially UTF-8 compliant fonts available for all operating systems which support it, but, at the moment, I don't know what they are.

If your computer doesn't support UTF-8, these code charts will be pretty meaningless to you. At best, you'll see little open rectangles, or question marks in the place of the characters. Even if your computer does support UTF-8, there's a good chance you won't be able to see all of the characters on all of the charts, and, especially if you're using Micro$oft, you will see some characters which aren't the standard ones described. Presumably things will get better as time goes on, and the support is built in more and more commonly. At the moment, it's pretty hit-or-miss. More information on Unicode support and fonts can be found at Roman Czyborra's Index of /unifont, Alan Wood's page of Fonts that support Unicode, The Unicode Sliderule and at Unicode's Font Acknowledgements.

Good luck!
