I ntroduction:
We were facing many problems while typing regional languages other than English in
computer. For this, we were buying software from market and installing it in our computer. In
short it was trouble for us while working with other languages .Solution for all these
questions is Unicode.
We shall learn use of Unicode to establish regional language. There are many
Unicode softwares available on internet. One of these softwares is BarahaIME.
In this chapter, we shall see how to install this software in our computer.
What is Unicode?
There is code for each character in computer. Different codes for single character
were made which are changing according to software. If we make single code for single
character, then it will minimize problems in typing. And this leads to discovery of Unicode
system.
Here, there is no need to give font for each file. We can read easily typed content on
any computer. These are different advantages of Unicode system. For using Unicode in
computer, installation of font Mangal is necessary. This is Unicode font for which
Microsoft has given Unicode facility in Window xp. Now we shall understand setting used to
install Unicode in computer.
