Standard Unicode w typografii

The Unicode standard is designed as a framework for the worldwide interchange and processing of documents written in various languages and from various technical disciplines.

The advantages of such a universal standard are obvious, but its objectives result in serious drawbacks in typographical applications. Therefore our conclusion is that it will be advisable to explore alternative solutions.
