摘要
This study investigates the Unicode specifications and the possibilities for their implementation in Arabic script languages in general and Pakistani local languages specifically, by designing an editor. Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language. The author has designed an editor titled "A Multilingual Unicode Editor" which can be used for numerous applications such as sending/receiving emails, web page development and chatting etc. The Unicode Organization was founded in 1991 to design and promote a universal, uniform, unique, unambiguous worldwide character-encoding standard. The Unicode Organization released its first version of standard, Unicode Standard 1.0 in the same year. The current version of the Unicode Standard contains 49,194 distinct coded characters. These characters cover principal written languages, and symbol systems of the world. Formally the printed books and online documents that extend the specification and informative content define the Unicode standard.
