THE NEW UNICODE 14.0 POSTERS CREATED BY ANRT AND IDG

 

NOW AVAILABLE IN LIMITED QUANTITIES TO NORTH AMERICAN RESIDENTS!

 

A donation of $50 to or more to the Script Encoding Initiative entitles you to receive a poster showing all writing systems on Unicode 14.0 and beyond. This third revised edition of the World’s Writing Systems poster was created by the Atelier National de Recherche Typographique (ANRT), Nancy, France, Institut Designlabor Gutenberg (IDG), Hochschule Mainz, Germany with research provided by SEI. The silk screen posters measure 80 × 120 cm (approx. 31.5” × 47” or 2.6 × 3.9 feet).

 

There are two different versions, providing different views on writing systems of the world with one reference glyph per script: — one poster arranged chronologically, and the other poster arranged geographically and chronologically.  For a donation of $75, you can receive both posters.

Donations to SEI help support SEI work. Funds are used primarily to pay script encoding specialists and graduate students to do research, write script proposals, and to create fonts on a per-script basis. Funding also covers research-related travel, administrative costs, and website maintenance. SEI's Progress web page gives an overview of project achievements.
