The Unicode Consortium or Unicode Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that coordinates the development of the Unicode standard. Its stated goal is to eventually enable computers to operate in all languages from around the world. The consortium develops and publishes a list of freely-available ...
A unique string used to identify each abstract character encoded in the standard.
* The character names in the Unicode Standard match those of the English edition of ISO/IEC 10646.
* Character names are immutable and cannot be overridden; they are stable identifiers.
* The name of a Unicode character is also formally a character property in the Unicode Character Database. Its long property alias is “Name” and its short property alias is “na”. Its value is the unique string label associated with the encoded character.

An additional unique string identifier, other than the character name, associated with an encoded character in the standard.
* Character name aliases are assigned when there is a serious clerical defect with a character name, such that the character name itself may be misleading regarding the identity of the character. A character name alias constitutes an alternate identifier for the character.
* Character name aliases are also assigned to provide string identifiers for control codes and to recognize widely used alternative names and abbreviations for control codes, format characters and other special-use characters.
* Character name aliases are unique within the common namespace shared by character names, character name aliases, and named character sequences.
* More than one character name alias may be assigned to a given Unicode character. For example, the control code U+000D is given a character name alias for its ISO 6429 control function as carriage return, but is also given a character name alias for its widely used abbreviation “CR”.
* Character name aliases are a formal, normative part of the standard and should be distinguished from the informative, editorial aliases provided in the code charts.
Industry:Computer; Software
A set of property names and property values associated with individual characters.
Industry:Computer; Software
The collection of characters included in a character set.

The semantics of a character are determined by its identity, normative properties, and behavior.
* Some normative behavior is default behavior; this behavior can be overridden by higher-level protocols. However, in the absence of such protocols, the behavior must be observed so as to follow the character semantics.
* The character combination properties and the canonical ordering behavior cannot be overridden by higher-level protocols. The purpose of this constraint is to guarantee that the order of combining marks in text and the results of normalization are predictable.

A collection of elements used to represent textual information.

Abbreviation for chilaaksharam (singular) (cillakṣaram). Refers to any of a set of sonorant consonants in Malayalam, when appearing in syllable-final position with no inherent vowel.
Industry:Computer; Software
A sequence of one or more leading consonants in Korean.
* In Modern Korean, a choseong consists of a single jamo. In Old Korean, a sequence of more than one leading consonant may occur.
* Equivalent to syllable-initial cluster.
