Nineteenth International Unicode Conference (IUC19)
Unicode and the Web: the Global Connection
September 10-13, 2001

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 Internet commerce, network access to data,
or highly portable applications, Unicode makes a solid foundation
for the network, global enterprises, and software users everywhere.
The Nineteenth International Unicode Conference (IUC19) will address
topics ranging from Unicode use in the World Wide Web and in
operating systems and databases, to the latest developments with
Unicode 3.1, Java, Open Source, XML and Web protocols. Conference

analysts, and product marketing personnel responsible for the
development of software supporting Unicode, as well as those
involved in all aspects of the globalization of software and the
Internet.

THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM
The Unicode Consortium was founded as a non-profit organization in 1991.
It is dedicated to the development, maintenance and promotion of The
Unicode Standard, a worldwide character encoding. The Unicode Standard
encodes the characters of the world's principal scripts and languages, and
is code-for-code identical to the international standard ISO/IEC 10646.
In addition to cooperating with ISO on the future development of ISO/IEC
10646, the Consortium is responsible for providing character properties and
algorithms for use in implementations. Today the membership base of the
Unicode Consortium includes major computer corporations, software producers,
database vendors, research institutions, international agencies and various
user groups.
For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode Web
site at http://www.unicode.org or e-mail <info@unicode.org>
