the explanatory text of the Unicode book is a little weak, so I've spent
a lot of time thinking about how to improve it. I have lots of stuff to
add to the theory and principles section of

maybe about the relation of encoding to fonts and glyphs - you're more
than welcome. ;) And of course, you're welcome to translate it into
your language. (Malaysian?)
