Henry Luce Foundation Grant to the Unicode Consortium

The Henry Luce Foundation has made a grant to the Unicode Consortium insupport of three meetings between Unicode specialists, experts, and usercommunities in Mongolia and China. The meetings, which will take place from2015 to 2017, will discuss encoding issues relating to specific scripts inthe region, such as Mongolian Square and Soyombo. The goal of the meetingsis to move the scripts forward in the encoding process, so scholars and therelevant user communities will eventually be able to create, send, andsearch materials in these scripts electronically. The project is headed byDr. Deborah Anderson, Technical Director of the Consortium, and ProjectLeader of the UC Berkeley Script Encoding Initiative.
