Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

Unicodia — encyclopedia of characters v2.12.0

A free replacement for the Windows Character Map with definitions.




Features
• In Windows 10/11 — all characters of Unicode 15 (no named sequences right now).
• In Windows 7 — all characters of Base Multilingual Plane, plus Phoenician, Aramaic and Brahmi, as scripts of high importance. I’ll also support Old Gothic, just because it looks really “gothic”.
• Shows if the character is supported in your system, and if so — which font.
• Copy character codes in HTML, UTF-8 and UTF-16.
• Simple search.
• Little emoji reference.
• A few words on every script. Unicodia is just fun to read.
• Chinese/Japanese/Korean are collapsed initially. Otherwise point somewhere, and 75% you hit an ideograph.
• Free/libre (except license for one font, see About).

Changes:
v2.12.0
⛩ CJK
Now I review all changes to BS Han, 3 ideographs fell back to SimSunB
Removed >10 special rules that either no longer work now, or really minor difference (e.g. roof stroke)
(UnicodiaHan unchanged)
Old OS with incomplete SimSun now use BabelStone more aggressively
Arguable ideographs:
• 40E3 (has Chinese): both West and SimSun stuck to standard Chinese rules
• 21CBD (Chinese only): after a small research, I admitted that BabelStone’s version is at least legit (such ideographs are often old)
• 256A1 (has Chinese): finally took BabelStone, West drew a better version
• 2ECEA (from Chinese names): let it be, such rules of Fire component
• 3068C (has Chinese): after a talk to West, reverted to BabelStone: they’ll probably change the glyph

🏜️ EGYPTIAN
#405 Egyptian tofu have gone, 159 remain in 5 blocks
#496 Edited >25 misrenders, mostly beards (human vs Egyptian vs foreigner vs king vs god)
Two misrenders (lioness) fixed by handing to NewGardiner
UnicodiaSesh grabbed 5 hieros already covered by NewGardiner
Upd NewGardiner to 3.03

✒️ FONTS
Upd PlanGothic
−1 Tangut and −1 Arabic tofu, found whose character (sometimes was shown up but still counted as tofu)

🖼 GRAPHIC EMOJI
#507 Fixed Brunei: same troubles, but barely visible because of yellow background
Recreated emoji.zip for dampening slowdowns

🎞 BLOCK ICONS / 🔬 HiDPI
Moved 10 random European icons to repainting engine w/o actually changing them
Two of them got pixel hints

📚 TEXT
Obsolete character: more patriotic for Englishman
🐛 [ja] “Other images are possible” was wrong
Updated (w/o template) that Unicode 18 will add more micro-tone chars
Typos, wording

🗃️ LIBRARY
Added Kazakh Latin (official Kazakh is still Cyrillic)
Added new proto-chess pieces to Fantasy

💾 OTHER DATA
Carian is now “mostly left-to-right”. Not a lie, as this value is relatively new
#505 Lockard is still alive!

🌐 INTERNATIONALIZATION
Info in Plane article is computed. Only the article’s basic structure is written by hand.
#506 “Four coloured emoji” are also computed though did nothing in text structure.
Made templates from three years and three versions when some fact is confirmed (but may become false someday), mainly for languages I cannot update because I don’t know them
#504 Moved info on Naxi (Lisu ex) to central language storage
The fourth standard snippet of text, about multiple old Albanian scripts.

🐞 PROGRAM
Tofu stats: banned more keys

🔍 SEARCH
#495 Now can search for bad emoji, two types for now: poorly qualified and unknown flags

⚙️ TECHNICAL
Made “links to myself”: for Albanian, but will be useful when I make links to characters/blocks

🧱 BUILD PROCESS
Reorganized Egyptian data to simplify future checks what was changed in Unicode→JSesh mapping
