The Script Encoding Initiative (SEI) advances the digitization of the world's writing systems, from ancient inscriptions to newly invented alphabets.
Millions of people use scripts that cannot yet be reliably typed or displayed on digital devices. SEI works to change that, funding the technical proposals, linguistic research, and community outreach needed to bring more of the world's writing systems into the Unicode Standard — the global system underlying all digital text. To date, SEI has contributed to the successful encoding of over 120 scripts, from Egyptian Hieroglyphs to Hanifi Rohingya, and over 150 scripts still remain outside the Standard.
Your support helps proposal authors, scholars, script experts, and community representatives do the work of ensuring that written languages are preserved for future generations.
