Using unicode to view multilingual documents Unicode Standard (ISO standard 10646) is a single character set that includes all the characters used by the world's major languages, including double-byte character sets. Unicode is a multilingual and multiscript character set. The use of Unicode makes it possible to create and view multilingual web pages in community languages. Both Windows 95 and Windows NT support Unicode and these operating systems supply the fonts required as well. Both Netscape and Internet Explorer are Unicode compliant and linked with the fonts in your operating system, it is possible to view the non-English web page directly from your browser. For IBM compatible computers you will need either Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system or higher and the latest versions of Internet Explorer or Netscape. For Macintosh computers you will need the Mac OS 8.6 or higher and Internet Explorer version 5.0. If your computer meets these system requirements all you have to do is click on the link to the language document of your choice and you should be able to view it directly within your browser (ie Netscape or Internet Explorer). If you still have a problem viewing the document, it could be that you need to download additional fonts.
