You probably meant Kangxi(Kanji) and Hangul syllables, but you also forgot to mention the Japanese's Kana(Hiragana and Katakana japanese phonetic system). And maybe you should notice the cuneiforms, Mathematical notation, Musical notation, Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu and aboriginals syllables as long groups.

[@TheRojo387]

That's because of their sheer numbers of possible combinations. Korean has only fourteen letters in its alphabet, based on just five basic templates, but it has...well, you do the math with how many possible syllables given nineteen onsets, twenty six nuclei, and at least twenty four codas! But that doesn't even begin to approach the combos possible with Chinese logograms. Most of the time they are combined in pairs of rebus and determinative.

Yes, there's plenty of room left. The current Unicode setup can hold around 1,110,000 characters; so far, we've used up only about 10% of that space.

I was listening to my iTunes whilst watching the video and Gorillaz - Phoner to Arizona started playing and for reason it just worked really well with the images of the unicode!

[@tomcomitta]

Does this complete what the early concrete poets imagined? An international writing anyone and everyone can "read." By far the best writing/art that I've read/seen in 2011.

[@mrcydonia]

And to think we once got by with just the characters available on a typewriter.

[@TimwiTerby]

I think it would be interesting if you clarified in the description that it doesn’t end at 65536. Beyond that we have Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics, the immense block of Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform, all of the Japanese Emoji, and board-game symbols such as domino bricks and playing cards. I’d love to see all of these animated as well, but since that area is still actively being added to, might be worth waiting :)

[@RANDOMSTUFF-ix1ed]

First off that was really cool and it made me think of that dance the mad hatter does in tim Burton's alice in wonderland. Second I thought Unicode was a secret unicorn language or something like that.

[@joergpiringer]

@garlicgherkin but i haven't found a way to display them. actually unicode has way more than 65536 code points. unicode 6.0 defines 109.449 characters. so that would be feature film length...

[@user-rq1xi4tj9l]

can you make 109.449 characters

[@Semephere]

that kanji part includes not only Chinese but also Japanese and Taiwanese languages. thank you

[@llih0074]

Taiwanese use traditional Chinese. after 1949 civil war, Taiwan and Mainland China separated, and then China simplified some commonly used characters, maybe less than 1%. JUST IMAGINE ENGLISH DID NOT HAVE LOWERCASE BEFORE, but now lowercase letters are invented.

Question: If we discovered or were visited by a civilization that belong to a planet, say with roughly the same amount of people, cultures and alphabets, would we still be able to allocate them in the unicode?

[@when-the-h]

Probably, people can add their own letters into Unicode anyways.

[@excesszero]

And right when I thought those pesky prawns finally left District 9 for good...

[@eelamite]

imagine if it included the unicode codes on the side lol that woulda been ma helpful. also i want an updated version of this.. this is like only a third of how many there are today

The chinese characters all look a bit different. I bet that's because they were hand drawn, scanned and vectorized once upon a time.
