Code2001
James Kass has also created Code2001, a freeware test font for Unicode's Plane One.
Code2001 includes support for:
- Old Persian Cuneiform
- Deseret
- Tengwar
- Cirth
- Old Italic
- Gothic
- Aegean Numbers
- Cypriot Syllabary
- Pollard Script
- Ugaritic
ISO-8859-1 characters are also included, as per the specifications.
Old Persian Cuneiform, Tengwar, and Cirth are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in Private Use Areas, both in the Basic Multilingual Plane and Plane Fifteen.
Code2002
James Kass has also released Code2002 as a beta that has limited support for Plane Two.
Unicode's Plane Two includes 40,000 Chinese characters that are not included in Plane One. They are mostly historic, although there are some modern ones. Code2002 currently contains about 40% of these fairly rare characters.
