Title: what does unicode mean?
Post by: Xstatic on January 02, 2003, 06:09:51 am

I understand that the primary reason for the long wait after .89 is that you are working on a unicode version.

I haven't got the slightest clue what this means...
could you explain this to a simple, mortal being?

It will allow MC to support international character sets that require more than the "standard" ASCII.  This should provide support for Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and many more.

You could read more in the "What is Unicode" section here:
