  • investigation into using the Unicode Standard for primitives of unified han characters
    Pacific Asia Conference on Language Information and Computation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Henry Larkin
    Abstract:

    The Unicode Standard identifies and provides representation of the vast majority of known characters used in today’s writing systems. Many of these characters belong to the unified Han series, which encapsulates characters from writing systems used in languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. These pictographic characters are often made up of smaller primitives, either other characters or more simplified pictography. This paper presents research findings of how the Unicode Standard currently represents the primitives used in 4134 of the most common Han characters.

  • Arabic additions for Quranic orthographies
    2019
    Co-Authors: Roozbeh Pournader, Deborah Anderson
    Abstract:

    Author(s): Pournader, Roozbeh; Anderson, Deborah | Abstract: This is a proposal to add 39 Arabic Quranic characters to the international character encoding Standard Unicode. The characters are used to represent text in minority orthographies, and many were contained in earlier documents submitted by others (cited on page 1 of this proposal).The characters are scheduled to be published in Unicode Standard version 14.0 in September 2021. A few modifications have been made to the names or location of characters in Unicode, so users should check the code charts when the Unicode Standard is published. The charts will be accessible at: https://www.Unicode.org/charts/.

  • Treatment of Unicode canoncal decomposition among operating systems.
    arXiv: Other Computer Science, 2017
    Co-Authors: Efstratios Rappos
    Abstract:

    This article shows how the text characters that have multiple representations under the Unicode Standard are treated by popular operating systems. Whilst most characters have a unique representation in Unicode, some characters such as the accented European letters, can have multiple representations due to a feature of Unicode called normalization. These characters are treated differently by popular operating systems, leading to additional challenges during interoperability of computer programs.
