Msg from the Unicode Consortium: Support Unicode with anAdopt-a-Character Gift this Holiday Season!

holiday imageThis holiday season you can give a unique gift by adopting 
any emoji, letter, or symbol — and help support the Unicode Consortium’s 
mission to enable all languages to be used on computers. ​Three levels 
of sponsorship​ are available​, starting at $100. With over 128,000 
characters to choose from, you are certain to find an appropriate 
character, for even the most demanding recipient. All sponsors will 
receive a custom digital badge featuring the adopted character for use 
on the web and elsewhere. Sponsors at the two highest levels will 
receive a special thank-you gift engraved with the name you supply and 
the adopted character.

The program funds work on “digitally disadvantaged” languages, both 
modern and historic. In 2016 the program awarded a grant to support work 
on a proposal for the Hanifi Rohingya script. The program has also 
funded work on Egyptian hieroglyphs and Mayan hieroglyphs.

In its first year, the Adopt-a-Character program has had nearly 400 
sponsors. Be part of the next wave, with a worthwhile gift!

For more information on the program, or to adopt a character, see the 
Adopt-a-Character Page
