Unicode

Unicode is a way of representing the characters in multiple alphabets.

To display Unicode characters you need to use a Unicode font and save using a Unicode format.

Downloading a Unicode Font

There are several free Unicode fonts on the Web. Alan Wood's site at http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html is a good starting point.

Selecting a Unicode Font


When you export as RTF or HTML you should also set the fonts in the Export dialogs to the Unicode Font.

Some Word Processors (e.g. older versions of MS Word) do not support Unicode. If this is the case you should go to the Setup menu and ensure that "Save As Unicode" is not selected.

Warning When files are saved as Unicode they are twice as large as normal files and will not load into older versions of the software. The Mac version does not support Unicode.
