Notes on proposed changes to Code2000 Wikipedia article First paragraph change from: As of the current final version 1.171 released in 2008, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the Unicode 5.2 standard as practical (whereas 12.0 is the currently-released version), and to support OpenType digital typography features.

[The linked "Unicode 5.2 standard" in the original points to the Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode , which suggests that the link itself could remain the same after removing the Unicode version number.] [The phrase "Basic Multilingual Plane" is linked.] Second paragraph change from: The Code2000 font was available as unrestricted shareware, and the Code2001 and Code2002 fonts as freeware, from the author's website until January 2011. The website subsequently went down, and the domain name was later taken by an Australian programming site. As of December 2011 there is no known official download site for the fonts. change to: The Code2000 font is available as unrestricted shareware, and the Code2001 and Code2002 fonts as freeware, from the author's website. [The words "shareware" and "freeware" are linked.] Optional ending of the second paragraph, if the history given in the original should be preserved (and expanded) for the article: The original website went down in early 2011, and the domain name was subsequently taken by an Australian programming site. The Australian site went down, and the domain name was taken over by a hacker who restored older, archived webpages which link to obsolete versions of the fonts. [The word "programming" is linked.] [Not sure if "hacker" is an appropriate term for the article. Maybe "pirate" would be better.] The descriptive text beneath the heading "Code2001": Original: This is a second font in the Code 2000 family. It covers the Unicode Plane One Supplementary Multilingual Plane, mostly used for historic language scripts. The majority of these glyphs are not found in Code 2000. Change: remove the spaces in the font names, both should be "Code2000". The next descriptive text, still under the heading "Code2001": Original: As the font ceased updating in 2008, it does not include the emoji, added to Unicode in version 6.0, that make up the best-known and most commonly used characters in the set. This font covers a few characters in the Unicode Plane Two Supplementary Ideographic Plane. It also covers a few tags in Unicode Plane Fourteen Supplementary Special-purpose Plane. Change from: As the font ceased updating in 2008, it does not ... Change to: This font does not ... Remove sentence: "This font covers a few characters in the Unicode Plane Two Supplementary Ideographic Plane." (I've removed Plane Two characters from Code2001.) The descriptive text beneath the heading "Code2002": Original: This is a third font in the Code 2000 family. The glyphs in this font are not part of either Code 2000 or Code 2001. Remove: Spaces inside the three font names. s/b "Code2000" etc. --- Original: Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font. Change to: ... 72% ... The heading "External links": Change to: James Kass' website https://www.code2001.com/ (although there's no harm in retaining the Wayback archive links) For the version numbers and dates of the three fonts given at the top right of the article, Code2000 is at version 1.173 2021-03-11 Code2001 is at version 0.921 2020-09-19 Code2002 is at version 0.919 2021-03-11 Code2000 coverage: Add: Nko (after Thaana) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%27Ko_script Ethiopic Supplement (after Ethiopic) Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A (after Dingbats) Supplemental Arrows-A (after the above) Lisu (after Yi Radicals) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisu_(Unicode_block) Remove: Tai Le New Tai Le Balinese Sundanese Lepcha Glagolitic Georgian Supplement Cyrillic Extended-A Syloti Nagri Vertical Forms (Code2000 has never covered any of the blocks listed above for removal.) Private Use Area (still Code2000) Phaistos - although still covered, it's deprecated because Phaistos is officially in Unicode. Code2001 coverage: Add: Grantha (after Phoenician) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grantha_script Pahawh Hmong (after the above) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pahawh_Hmong Miao (after the above) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollard_script Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement (after Domino Tiles) Enclosed Ideographic Supplement (after the above) Symbols for Legacy Computing (after the above) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_for_Legacy_Computing Still under Code2001 under the heading "Also included are": Add: Ewellic (after Cirth) Change: from "Pollard script" to "Miao" (The link for Pollard script is still good, Unicode accepted Pollard under the name Miao.) The text here should be changed... From: The first two are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in the Plane Fifteen Private Use Area and the Basic Multilingual Plane. (As noted above, the former two are also available in Code2000.) The Pollard Script is in Unicode now, so its spot is deprecated. To: The first three are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in the Private Use Area of the Basic Multilingual Plane. (As noted above, the former three are also available in Code2000.) Miao is in Unicode now, so its spot is deprecated.
