ResumoIn this paper, we will review the current works to standardize international character codes: ISO 10646 and Unicode. We will discuss some technical aspects of these two codes. We will also focus on the standardization process itself to see if we are going in a proper direction. Hangul was sometimes used in concrete examples. We need to honor an orthography to set up an adequate code. The current terms and frameworks are somewhat biased toward Latin scripts and they need to be revised or improved. We should honor opinions of people with various backgrounds and also provide more easily accessible channels. Currently we seem to have some inconsistencies in the international character codes. To prevent such inconsistencies, instead of simply collecting codes submitted by countries owning the scripts, we need to set up consistent rules and follow them in encoding scripts with similar characteristics.
