'''Code2000''' is a serif and pan-Unicode digital font, which includes [[Social:Grapheme|characters]] and symbols from a very large range of [[Social:Writing system|writing system]]s. As of the current final version 1.171 released in 2008, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the [[Unicode|Unicode 5.2 standard]] as practical (whereas 12.0 is the currently-released version), and to support [[OpenType]] digital typography features. Code2000 supports the Basic Multilingual Plane. '''Code2001''' was a designed to support the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, with ISO 8859-1 characters shared with Code2000 for compatibility. A third font, '''Code2002''', was left substantially unfinished and never officially released.

Code2000 was released as [[Shareware|shareware]]/[[Donationware|donationware]], with the licensing fee set at $5.00. Code2001 was released under a [[Free software license|free software license]] that prohibited most derivative works but otherwise allowed free use, redistribution and  [[Font embedding|embedding]]. The project was discontinued in 2008, with its web domain name later taken by an Australian [[Computer programming|programming]] site.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://code2000.net/ |title=Last archive copy of James Kass' website |access-date=December 26, 2011 |archive-date=January 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110108105420/http://code2000.net/ |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref>

On September 13, 2023, after 15 years of inactivity, Kass relaunched the project and began work on updating the fonts.<!-- see the link in "External links" -->

==Code2001==
This is a second font in the ''Code 2000'' family. It covers the Unicode Plane One Supplementary Multilingual Plane, mostly used for historic language scripts. The majority of these glyphs are not found in ''Code 2000''.

''Code2001'' includes support for:
*ISO-8859-1 characters
*[[Social:Linear B|Linear B]]
*Aegean numbers
*Phaistos
*Old Italic
*[[Social:Gothic alphabet|Gothic]]
*[[Social:Ugaritic alphabet|Ugaritic]]
*Old Persian Cuneiform
*[[Social:Deseret alphabet|Deseret]]
*Shavian script
*[[Social:Osmanya script|Osmanya]]
*[[Social:Cypriot syllabary|Cypriot syllabary]]
*[[Phoenician alphabet|Phoenician]]
*[[Byzantine Musical Symbols]]
*Musical Symbols
*Tài Xuán Jīng Symbols
*[[Counting rods|Counting Rod]] Numerals
*[[Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols]] (including the ones in the Letter-like Symbols block)
*Domino Tiles

As the font ceased updating in 2008, it does not include the [[Emoji|emoji]], added to Unicode in version 6.0, that make up the best-known and most commonly used characters in the set.
This font covers a few characters in the Unicode Plane Two Supplementary Ideographic Plane. It also covers a few tags in Unicode Plane Fourteen Supplementary Special-purpose Plane.

Also included are:
*[[Social:Tengwar|Tengwar]]
*[[Social:Cirth|Cirth]]
*Pollard script
The first two are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in the Plane Fifteen Private Use Area and the Basic Multilingual Plane. (As noted above, the former two are also available in ''Code2000''.) The Pollard Script is in Unicode now, so its spot is deprecated.

==Code2002==
This is a third font in the ''Code 2000'' family. The glyphs in this font are not part of either ''Code 2000'' or ''Code 2001''.

This font partially covers the Unicode Plane Two Supplementary Ideographic Plane. This is a Supplementary Plane used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ideographs. Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font.
