We sit down with three Unicode Consortium contributors—Stephen Loomis (Chair, Digitally Disadvantaged Languages Working Group), Elango Cheran (Vice-Chair, Community Engagement, Google internationalization engineer), and Bridget Chase (language technologist for Indigenous communities).

They discuss the nonprofit, open-source structure that unifies text encoding across devices and platforms, delve into the technical foundations of ICU, CLDR, and ICU4X and how developers integrate these libraries for formatting, localization, and bidirectional text, and examine the Digitally Disadvantaged Languages Working Group’s efforts to onboard under-represented scripts.

The conversation also covers the Adopt a Character funding program, the volunteer-driven community engagement model, the new Unicode Technology Workshop as a forum for hands-on collaboration, and their shared vision for achieving seamless, universal language support in digital communication.
