Gold Sponsor Oakland Athletics Baseball

The Unicode Consortium is pleased to announce that Oakland Athletics Baseball is now a gold sponsor for:





Oakland Athletics Baseball's  sponsorship directly funds the work of the Unicode Consortium in enabling modern software and computing systems to support the widest range of human languages. There are approximately 7,000 living human languages. Fewer than 100 of these languages are well-supported on computers, mobile phones, and other devices. AAC donations are used to improve support for digitally disadvantaged languages, and to help preserve the world’s linguistic heritage. 
The team adopted the three characters as visual representation for Oakland Athletics Baseball. The organization's nine World Series titles and 15 American League Pennants make the Athletics one of the most storied clubs in Major League Baseball. The Athletics take great pride in the achievements of the past, and view them as a challenge to push further. The Oakland Athletics are committed to creating winning experiences that encompass the many aspects of the game and the Oakland community. — Oakland Athletics Baseball
The Unicode Consortium thanks Oakland Athletics Baseball for their support!

All sponsors are listed on Sponsors of Adopted Characters. More than 128,000 other characters are available for adoption — see Adopt a Character.

Gold Sponsor JMP Software

The Unicode Consortium is pleased to announce that JMP is now a gold sponsor for:


JMP's  sponsorship directly funds the work of the Unicode Consortium in enabling modern software and computing systems to support the widest range of human languages. There are approximately 7,000 living human languages. Fewer than 100 of these languages are well-supported on computers, mobile phones, and other devices. AAC donations are used to improve support for digitally disadvantaged languages, and to help preserve the world’s linguistic heritage. 

Scientific advances, engineering breakthroughs and statistical discoveries: Clarity comes to those who explore data visually and interactively with statistical software from JMP. That’s why we adopted the lightbulb — to represent the aha moments scientists, engineers and other data explorers experience. From its beginning, JMP has connected statistics with data visualization for data analysis, later adding design of experiments, predictive modeling, and quality, reliability, and consumer research analysis. Unicode allows us to focus on statistical discovery rather than on character set differences among the seven languages our software supports or on multiple operating systems. That’s another reason we decided to support Unicode’s work, as explained in this post. — JMP
The Unicode Consortium thanks JMP for their support!

Adopt-A-Character Grant to Support Three Historic Scripts

AAC imageThe Adopt-a-Character Program has awarded a grant to support further development of the following three historic scripts in the Unicode Standard:
  • Dhives Akuru, a Brahmi-based script formerly used to write the Maldivian language in the Maldive islands
  • Elymaic, an Aramaic-based script formerly used in the region southeast of the Tigris river in Iran
  • Khwarezmian, a script formerly used in the northern part of Uzbekistan and the adjacent areas of Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan
This grant will fund the development of proposals for encoding scripts that can be included in the Unicode Standard. The work will be done by Anshuman Pandey under the direction of Deborah Anderson (SEI, UC Berkeley) and Rick McGowan (Unicode Consortium).

Over 100,000 characters are available for adoption, to help the Unicode Consortium’s work on digitally disadvantaged languages.
