What does the phrase “Unicode compliant font\ mean?

0

Strictly speaking the phrase is meaningless, as Unicode is character set encoding and not a font encoding. However, some languages have writing systems that map the characters of the script one-to-one to their character encodings (most Indic scripts do not have this property). For such languages, you could define a font such that its font encoding matches the corresponding range of characters in the Unicode standard so that Unicode code points could be used to directly select individual glyphs in the font. Such a font could be termed, rather colloquially as “unicode compliant”.
