href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode7.0.0/">Version 7.0 of the Unicode Standard</a> is now available, adding 2,834 new characters. This latest version adds the new currency symbols for the Russian ruble and Azerbaijani manat, approximately 250 emoji (pictographic symbols), many other symbols, and 23 new lesser-used and historic scripts, as well as character additions to many existing scripts. These additions extend support for written languages of North America, China, India, other Asian countries, and Africa. See the link above for full details.</p> <p>Most of the new emoji characters derive from characters in long-standing and widespread use in Wingdings and Webdings fonts. </p> <p>Major enhancements were made to the Indic script properties. New property values were added to enable a more algorithmic approach to rendering Indic scripts. These include properties for joining behavior, new classes for numbers, and a further division of the syllabic categories of viramas and rephas. With these enhancements, the default rendering for newly added Indic scripts can be significantly improved.</p> <p>Unicode character properties were extended to the new characters. The old characters have enhancements to Script and Alphabetic properties, and casing and line-breaking behavior. There were also nearly 3,000 new Cantonese pronunciation entries, as well as new or clarified stability policies for promoting interoperable implementations.</p> <p>Two other important Unicode specifications are maintained in synchrony with the Unicode Standard, and have updates for Version 7.0. These will be released at the same time:</p> <p> <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/tr10-30.html">UTS #10, Unicode Collation Algorithm</a> — the standard for sorting Unicode text<br /> <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr46/tr46-13.html">UTS #46, Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing</a> — for processing of non-ASCII URLs (IDNs)</p> <div class="admin"> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2014/06/17/announcing-the-unicode-standard-version-7-0/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> <div class="cats"> Tags: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/unicode/" rel="tag">unicode</a></strong> </div> <div class="cats">Categories: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/announcements/" rel="category tag">Announcements</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/highlight/" rel="category tag">Highlight</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/unicode-2/" rel="category tag">Unicode</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3csemanticweb/" rel="category tag">w3cSemanticWeb</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebarchitecture/" rel="category tag">w3cWebArchitecture</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebdesign/" rel="category tag">w3cWebDesign</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebofdevices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebOfDevices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebservices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebServices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebuseragents/" rel="category tag">w3cWebUserAgents</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cxmlcore/" rel="category tag">w3cXMLCore</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <?php// endif; ?>   <div class="pubdata"> <div class="date"><time datetime=2014-06-11>June 11, 2014</time></div> </div> <div class="resource"> <h3> <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2014/06/11/workshop-report-summary-of-the-ld4lt-group-kickoff-lider-roadmapping-workshop/" title="Permanent link to full entry">Workshop report: Summary of the LD4LT group kickoff / LIDER roadmapping workshop</a> </h3> <div class="description"> <p>The <a href="http://www.lider-project.eu/">LIDER project</a> has published a report on the first <a href="https://www.w3.org/community/ld4lt/">Linked Data for Language Technology</a> event, which was held 21st March in alignment with the European Data Forum in Athens. <a href="http://www.lider-project.eu/doc/d45-first-roadmapping-workshop-athens-v11">Read the report</a>.</p> <p>Industry stakeholders from many areas (localization, publishing, language technology applications etc.) and key researchers from linked data and language technology discussed promises and challenges around linguistic linked data.

Adding markup for language information to content is something that can and should be done now and as content is first developed.
