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>
