This version significantly improves the ability to interchange languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Pashto. It also clarifies the implementation of such languages as Bengali and the relationship between base form letters and accent marks. Full technical details regarding the Unicode Standard, Version 4.0.1 are published online. www.unicode.org

Cambridge, MA , March 30, 2004.
