Notes:
There are different ways to transcribe the word “Unicode”, depending on
the language and script. In some cases there is only one language that
customarily uses a given script; in others there are many languages. The
goal here is at a minimum to collect at least one transcription for each
script in a language customarily written in that script, with more
languages if possible. If the transcription is the same for multiple
languages in a script, then a single representative language is used.
Still missing are transcriptions for the items above in RED (in at least
one language). I would appreciate any other transcriptions, or
corrections for the ones listed here. Send to mark3@macchiato.com
<mailto:mark3@macchiato.com>, using the directions below:
* *Supplying Missing Items*
o Most Latin-script languages will follow the spelling, and
change the pronunciation. For any that would not, it would
be good to have the alternate spelling.
o For non-Latin scripts the goal is to match the English
pronunciation — /*not*/ spelling. Above is the IPA <#IPA>
(in phonemic transcription) that should be matched as
closely as possible (without sounding affected in the target
language)
o Text would be best in either the UTF-8 text, or the code
points in hex HTML. E.g. either of the following:
+ "Юникод"
+ "Юникод"
+ Note: for / supplementary characters/
<http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#supplementary_character>,
there should be one hex number per code point, not two
surrogates
<http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#surrogate_code_point>:
# 𐀀 /*not*/ �&xDC00;
o If you have a good font, I'd also appreciate a GIF. It
should be *96 x 24* bits, with the text centered, in black
on white (plus grays if smoothed).
* *Other Comments*
o Because some browsers won't handle the text, both text and
GIF image are supplied. If you can’t read the text columns,
see Display Problems
<http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html>.
o The Chinese versions (inc. Bopomofo) are translations, not
transcriptions, since "transcription in Chinese is pretty
lame" [J. Becker].
o There are other "translations" of Unicode that may be in
use, such as the Vietnamese "Thống Nhất Mã".
o For sample pages in different languages on the Unicode site,
see What is Unicode?
<http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/WhatIsUnicode.html>
o Americans are not generally used to IPA, and find a variety
of different systems in their dictionaries. This one leaves
the base letters as they are, and uses diacritics for
pronunciation.
* *Etymology of /Unicode/*
o Coined by J. Becker. Not related to previous usages, such as:
+ A telegraphic code in which one word or set of letters
represents a sentence or phrase; a telegram or message
in this. (late 19th century, OED)
o According to my references, the prefix "uni" is directly
from Latin while the word "code" is through French.
o The original Indo-European apparently would have been
*oino-kau-do ("one strike give"): *kau apparently being
related to such English words as: hew, haggle, hoe, hag,
hay, hack, caudad, caudal, caudate, caudex, coda, codex,
codicil, coward, incus, and Kovač (personal name: "smith").
+ I will leave the exact derivations to the exegetes,
but I like the association with "haggle" myself.
* *Contributions*
o This draws on contributions or comments from:
+ Dixon Au
+ Joe Becker
+ Maurice Bauhahn
+ Abel Cheung
+ Peter Constable
+ Michael Everson
+ Christopher John Fynn
+ Michael Kaplan
+ George Kiraz
+ Abdul Malik
+ Siva Nataraja
+ Roozbeh Pournader
+ Jonathan Rosenne
+ Jungshik Shin
