This page is designed as a guide for those who are not experts in internationalization in general nor Unicode in particular, but want to use correct terminology and be persuasive when discussing character sets and the like. The purpose of this page is to equip the reader to cut through the fear, doubt, and inaccuracy which often springs up when internationalization rears its head. This page does not contain an actual description of the various relevant standards.

Briefest possible guide to Unicode: NEVER CONFUSE A CHARACTER SET WITH AN ENCODING SYSTEM!! Obey this simple rule and people will be very very grateful.

If you desire a slightly longer introduction than that, please read on.

Unicode Terms

The terms in this section are vital in any discussion of text representation, not just Unicode.

Character

A character is a small, indivisible unit of text, and text is composed of a string of characters. A character is not the binary representation of a text unit on disk; that would be determined by encoding. It is not the shape that appears on the screen; that's the glyph.
It is not a 'letter' either -- for historical reasons, many things are considered characters which are not letter-like entities at all. For instance, even in ASCII, the simplest and most common character set, 'bell' and 'linefeed' are characters -- not because they deserve to be but because it was once thought convenient.

Character Set

Also called a character repertoire, this is a set of characters. It is not a way of representing characters on a page or in a file. Rather, it defines the range of characters that can be so represented. Unicode is technically not so much a character set as a coded character set (see below).
Abuse of the term 'character set' is probably the biggest single problem in this discussion -- see this page for details.

Encoding

The encoding is the system by which the characters in a set are represented in binary form in a file. The Unicode set may be represented using three encodings: UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. UCS-2 is an unofficial variant of UTF-16 which does not handle 'surrogate characters', the less-used code points that require more than two bytes to represent. Java uses UCS2 as it's native encoding. UCS-4 is an unofficial variant which is near-identical to UTF-32. Technically, you shouldn't say 'Java uses UCS2 characters internally', you should say 'Java uses UCS2 representations of Unicode characters internally'. The distinction can be important sometimes, honest.

Glyph

The Glyph is the visible shape that represents a character. For something like a percent sign '%', there is quite a simple relationship between the character and the glyph. In many languages this relationship is not at all simple -- for instance, in many Sanskrit-derived languages it takes more than one character to specify a glyph. Worse yet, because people have solved typographical problems in different ways over the years, there are many characters that have nothing to do with glyphs, such as the ASCII 'bell' character mentioned above.
A character set does not specify what glyph to represent characters with; that depends on whatever is displaying the characters. Thus the same character in the same character set encoded in the same way can be represented with a totally different glyph on different occasions. Theoretically, Unicode is a set of characters, not of glyphs. In practise, however, many glyph-based distinctions have entered Unicode, so that different code points are sometimes used for the same character (see below).

Code Point

A character set defines a set of characters, but does not specify any way to refer to them. You have to assign them numbers so that they can be referred to, and those numbers are termed code points. ASCII has 128 code points, in the range 0 - 127, and the letters commonly used in computing are assigned to various code points in that range. Unicode has 0x10ffff code points, most of which do not yet have characters assigned to them.
Confusingly, there can be more than one code point assigned to a character. For instance, many existing character sets contain a letter 'C', and when those character sets were assimilated into Unicode the various letter 'C's were not always unified. There are thus several code points that are assigned to 'C' (at least, there's the ASCII C, the Roman-numeral-100 C, and the full-width east Asian C). Sometimes, several code points are given to a character to represent different glyphs being used (Unicode hasn't always been terribly good about the glyph/character distinction) -- so there's also a C-in-a-circle code point, to represent the special glyph used for C when there's a circle around it.
It is the responsibility of software that uses a character set to have correct algorithms for sorting and comparing strings that may have these complex properties.

Coded Character Set

A character set which has code points matched with characters so that the characters can be referred to is called a coded character set or CCS. Unicode is a CCS, and so are most other published character sets.

Surrogate

This term does not apply to character sets in general, only to Unicode in particular. The Unicode code space is divided (like that of some other sets) into 'planes'. Plane 1 contains the vast majority of characters in everyday use. Characters from other planes (the other planes are mostly empty at the moment) are represented by 'surrogate code points', which are little-used now but may become more common. The term 'surrogate character' is an error, as explained by the Unicode Consortium here, but is often used informally to mean a character outside of plane 1. The correct term would be 'supplementary character', although this isn't really everyday vocabulary.

Unicode FAQ

This FAQ is intended to answer (or at least to provide some explanation for) questions that are often asked by people who find they are going to have to worry about Unicode.

Q: What problems do people have with Unicode?

Not everyone likes Unicode, and some make quite a fuss about it.. I personally neither like nor dislike it. Real problems with Unicode (as opposed to problems with particular encodings or with the human race in general) include:

Not EVERY SINGLE character is represented in Unicode. Unicode will probably never handle cuneiform and the like, so if you work with dead languages Unicode is not much use. The 'classical' characters of some languages, specially Chinese, that are no longer used but appear in important old books, are not always included, although most or all of the traditional Chinese literary canon can be represented in Unicode. Rare alphabets such as Tifinagh are also missing, although the process of adding them still continues.
CJK Unification. The most controversial part of Unicode by far. Remember how I said that the various letter Qs that existed in pre-Unicode character sets were given their own different code points in Unicode? Well, with Chinese-derived ideograms, they did the opposite, merging them so that Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean versions of a character all share a code point. This was called 'Han Unification'. This has caused considerable political friction, and it also makes Unicode hard to use for some purposes in Asia. People disagree (on political lines or just according to how ornery they feel) on how hard it makes it.
Inelegance. Because of the rules with which Unicode was made, it is not a particularly orthogonal or pleasing set of characters, containing many duplicates, and many confusing near-duplicates. In particular:
- Unicode assimilated the existing popular character sets whole, keeping all their irregularities. This is why, for instance, the Indian scripts area contains many 'characters' that have nothing to do with language but were used as hints to display systems in the earlier days of Indian-language computing.
- Compound characters such as a French e-acute can generally be represented either by one Unicode character or by two (a base and an accent mark), because some of the character sets that were assimilated into Unicode liked to have separate characters for accent marks and some didn't. This makes some tasks complicated.
- Some areas other than Han ideographs have been unified (e.g. Runes).
- Unicode contains characters that are never used, like Deseret, are not really characters, like Terminal Control Codes, or are just plain wacky, like Japanese cartographical icons. Yet it omits some groups of characters that are frequently used, such as i-Mode glyphs.
Given the difficulties in making something like Unicode, I think many people would call these problems a fairly small price to pay. However, there will always be some situations where these issues are insurmountable.

Q: Where is Unicode used?

Technically, Unicode is used wherever the characters used are all drawn from the Unicode set -- in other words, just about everywhere. Systems that use ASCII are also using Unicode, since Unicode contains the ASCII set (and gives them the same code points they had in ASCII, too).
Systems that are oriented specifically toward Unicode notably include Java and Windows, which used to use UCS2 as their native encoding. Windows XP now uses UTF-16 (and can therefore represent all Unicode characters, the vast majority of them in equal-length representations) while Java supports a kind of 'near-UTF-16'. Java also chose to use a 'near-UTF-8' encoding rather than regular UTF-8 in some circumstances. Oracle uses UCS-2, and therefore cannot understand surrogate characters. However, both Java and Oracle pass through surrogate characters unharmed, even if they do not recognise them as single characters.

Q: Why are there so many encoding systems?

Because encodings, even encodings of the same character set, have dramatically different properties. Some properties that people often look for in encodings are:

ASCII transparency: When a text that contains only ASCII characters is encoded, the result should be identical to an ASCII string. This is a very useful property because systems that use such an encoding can process ASCII files without trouble. UTF-8 has this property.
Uniform character length: It is much, much more efficient to process a string when the characters all take up the same number of bytes. Encodings like UCS2 have this property, which is why Windows and Java use them. Most other encodings do not. An encoding that does have this property can never have ASCII transparency. UCS-2 has this property.
Completeness: Not all encodings can necessarily encode every character that appears in the set. UCS2 (which has a flat 16 bits for each character) cannot encode surrogate Unicode characters (which are mindbogglingly rare at the moment). This might be a problem in the future. All the UTF-* encodings are complete.

Q: What alternatives are there to Unicode?

Well, if you make sure to stay in America and to program in C on Unix machines and you're picky about who you meet, you have an excellent chance of never having to bother about a non-ASCII character in your life. Those who find this option difficult or distasteful can use one of the many character sets and encoding schemes that existed before Unicode for various languages. The Latin-1 character set contains the accent marks used in Western Europe, and its encoding (i.e. one byte per character) has the three virtues mentioned above. EUC-KR and EUC-JP were the standards for Unix in Japan and Korea for many years, and other regions had and still have their own standards which will not vanish anytime soon.
Since Unicode appeared, there have been some efforts to create alternatives, such as the Japanese Mojikyo glyph set and the fascinating TRON. However, none of these looks like gaining the widespread acceptance that Unicode has gained.

Unicode Mistakes

Don't make these horrible Unicode faux pas in polite society (or Usenet), or you could find yourself the butt of cruel character-set related jokes for years!

"Unicode characters are two bytes long!"

AAARGH!!! You are thinking of UCS2! UCS2 is a way to encode Unicode (or most of it) in which each Unicode character is represented as two bytes. Unicode characters are not ANY number of bytes long because Unicode is a character set and does not specify a binary representation! This terrible faux pas is often made by people who are moving from Unix to Windows/Java and have noticed that all the characters have suddenly gotten wider.

"I don't want to use Unicode because my data is in ASCII!"

I bet you're still thinking of UCS2. There are many encoding systems for Unicode that pass ASCII through transparently, like UTF-8.

"There aren't enough characters in Unicode to represent all the han characters, so it's unsuitable for Asian languages!"

There are enough code points (without using surrogates, see below) to represent all the characters commonly in use in Japan, China and Korea (indeed, the disintegration of the Japanese education system is making this task easier by the day). The problems arise more from the 'unification' of characters that are regarded by many of their users as different, and from the lack of classical and literary characters. How big these problems are depends on what you are doing. Certainly there are some tasks for which the scholarly repertoire of, say, Mojikyo is more suitable, but the drawbacks of using a relatively obscure single-region system are many.

"Unicode characters are 32 bits long!"

Unicode characters are often visualized in a 32-bit code space for convenience, but the actual range of characters is somewhat smaller -- as mentioned above, the total number of code points is the huge, unintuitive number 0x10ffff. Most of this range is empty and likely to remain so forever. Even within the range that is normally used (the 65,536 code points of Plane Zero), there are still gaps and unspecified regions.

"What does Unicode do about the fact that Arabic is written RIGHT TO LEFT??"

Unicode is concerned with characters, not with drawing them on your screen in a particular direction. Drawing Arabic right-to-left is an issue for the software that is rendering the characters, not for Unicode.

Links

The Unicode Consortium is of course the primary repository for Unicode-related knowledge. Of particular interest are the history of Unicode and the technical overview.

Why Unicode Won't Work On The Internet is an excellent (if slightly cranky) treatise on the development of Asian writing, and a good example of the kind of objections that Unicode often sparks. Many of the remarks on Unicode itself are inaccurate.

This page contains some useful information on Han character unification issues, including many examples of different (to some people) characters that have been given the same code point in Unicode.

The W3 Consortium have to deal with internationalization issues in bulk, and they have a very deep and informative examination of international text representation issues here.

Unaware of Sargeras' mission

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-08-11 07:32.

Unaware of Sargeras' mission to undo their countless works, the Titans continued to move from world to world, shaping and ordering each planet as they saw fit.
