Rating: Summary: A good book about Unicode, maybe the only one Review: This is a very good source of information about the Unicode standard. Being organized as a primer makes it much more useful for someone who doesn't know much about Unicode compared to the Unicode standard document. It discusses the Unicode standard in depth, dealing with topics like bidirectional text and CJK. It also discusses Unicode implementations in Operating Systems and its support by programming languages.
Rating: Summary: The best introduction to Unicode I have found to date Review: Tony Graham has managed to put together an excellent book that is exactly what the title says it is. This book is the best starting point for understanding Unicode on the market today. With understandable language and easy to follow examples the reader is shown both the basics of the standard and how it can be used but also is shown how Unicode can be used in HTML, Java, VB, Java Script and other languages as well. It is not however a manual for Unicode, if that is what you are looking for I would suggest you get The Unicode Standard 3.0.
