Unicode

11 Mar

Currently (August, 2008), no single “Unicode font” includes all the characters defined in the present revision of the ISO 10646 (Unicode) standard. In fact, it would be impossible to create such a font in any common font format, as Unicode includes over 100,000 characters, while no widely-used font format supports more than 65,535 glyphs. So while one could make a set of related fonts to cover all of Unicode, a single Unicode font is not possible at this time. (Source: Wikipedia)

Happens when you try to cover the whole world…
