I don't fully understand the relation between ISO-10646 and Unicode.
The most I know is that ISO-10646 is an international standard,
proposed by public national organizations of many countries, and
Unicode is a "standard based in" or �implementation of? ISO-10646,
proposed by major American (United States) private organizations.
Not in Unicode site nor in other sites related to these standards
have i found a satisfactory answer.
Following http://www.unicode.org/ one finds:
<< The Unicode Standard is a subset of and code for code identical
to the International Standard ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 >>
�Is it a subset? If so, why don't use ISO-10646 as a better (wider) standard.
�Isn't ISO-10646 usable directly for the same purposes?
�"Code for code"? �What does it mean precisely "to code" here?
�Is Unicode "code" identical to ISO "code"?
�Is the diference that Unicode supplies algorithms?
�? I'm confused
