The Unicode(R) Consortium is pleased to announce the availability
of an implementers tutorial "Introduction to Unicode(tm)" created for
the Consortium by the Institute for Advanced Professional Studies.

This Tutorial has been presented at several recent Unicode
Implementers Workshops, by its author, Glenn Adams of Metis
Technology, and is now available separately in print for the first time.

"Introduction to Unicode" presents an in-depth discussion of the
architectural features of the Unicode Standard and how they
relate to the writing systems in use throughout the world.

The Tutorial starts with a survey of the requirements of different
scripts and writing systems, continuing with a discussion of
what character codes represent. The terms Text Element and
Code Element are introduced and examined. A detailed look
at individual architectural features of the Unicode Standard
follows, including the display, processing and interchange model
underlying the design of the Standard.

The Tutorial concludes with a focus on implementation issues for
bi-directional text and Indic Script processing. Helpful appendices
include a glossary and an extensive bibliography.

Spiral bound, 207 pages. Price: $40.00 plus shipping and handling.
Please contact the Unicode Office Manager, Steven A. Greenfield,
at "unicode-inc@unicode.org" to order.
