More On Unicode

Filed under: Armenia, Technology — Posted by Katy on January 17th

The other day I posted about how much I love Unicode for Armenian.

Pat Hall, one of the fine people that I met at the Global Voices Online conference last month, has posted about it as well.

  1. It’s not so much that Unicode hasn’t caught on, so much as the lack of widespread Windows XP, and other software impediments. Aside from the whole conversion of documents, getting people on the new system, etc, unless you have XP it is hard to type in Unicode, and if people have very old versions of windows and very old computers (as is often the case in Armenia), they just won’t be able to read what you produce.

    A few sites like mine and ArmenianHouse.org have already adopted unicode widely for its universality and mutliple languages on one page. Plus, it’s clear that in the future, everything will have to be converted to Unicode anyway, so better sooner rather than later.

    So it is happening, gamats gamats…

  2. Unicode, as I posted last week, does work with Windows 98SE and Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.
