**********************************************************************

 The Internet and the World Wide Web continue to change the shape of
 computing. The goal of network computing and understandable text
 access across wide, diverse groups of people has brought great
 momentum to computing environments that build Unicode into their
 foundation. Whether it's new e-business, network access to data, or
 very portable applications, Unicode makes a solid foundation for
 the network, global enterprises, and software users everywhere.

 The Twelfth International Unicode Conference will address topics
 ranging from Unicode use in the Internet and World Wide Web, to the
 latest developments with Java.  Particular emphasis will be on using
 Unicode in East Asia and the Pacific Rim. Conference attendees will
 include managers, software engineers, systems analysts, and product
 marketing personnel responsible for the development of software
 supporting Unicode/ISO 10646 as well as those involved in all
 aspects of the globalization of software and the Internet.
