  • This guide will introduce the concepts behind Unicode and how it can be used for writing Punjabi in Gurmukhi script. It is designed for people who are familiar with Gurmukhi and have used Gurmukhi on a computer before. Traditionally, Ascii fonts sets have been used to represent different languages on computers. This is an extension of using different fonts within the same language. For example, when writing in English, one can use various font sets like "Times Roman" or "Arial", etc. This method has many restrictions and disadvantages when used to represent characters of different languages. The main disadvantage is the none compatibility with other computers; it is a non-regulated and non-standardised system; every computer needs to have "the particular fonts set" loaded before the text will display. To resolve problems associated with representing characters of the many different world languages, the computer industry has come up with a better solution. This is to use a "universal" method of representing the world's many languages - the solution has become known as Unicode . The FAQ section below answers some important questions. Main article: <a href="http://guca.sourceforge.net/">http://guca.sourceforge.net/</a> the Gurmukhi Unicode Information mini FAQ: (For more details "click here") * 1. What are the advantages of using Unicode for Gurmukhi? Unicode is the international standard for data interchange. It is slowly but surely replacing all other standards used across the world. With a Unicode compatible computer system you can: * Name files and folders using Gurmukhi. * Search the entire web in Gurmukhi as you can do now for English. Major search engines already support Unicode Gurmukhi. * Create programs in Gurmukhi. * Have your web page titles in Gurmukhi. * Sort and organise data on your entire computer. * Exchange data with other users without loss of information and without specific fonts. * Also see - Benefits of Unicode * 2. I've already got text at web site in ASCII Punjabi, how can I convert it to Unicode? The Punjabi Computing Resource Centre provides software to enable you to migrate font-based Gurmukhi to Unicode. The program in question - the Gurmukhi Unicode Conversion Application - is free and available to download right now! We also have resources that help you make Unicode compatible web sites.
