'''Code2000''' is a [[serif font|serif]] and pan-[[Unicode typefaces|Unicode digital font]], which includes [[Grapheme|characters]] and symbols from a very large range of [[writing system]]s. As of the current version 1.176 released in 2023, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the [[Unicode|Unicode 15.1 standard]] as practical (with 15.1 being the currently-released version), and to support [[OpenType]] digital typography features. Code2000 supports the [[Basic Multilingual Plane]]. '''Code2001''' was 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]]/[[donationware]], with the licensing fee set at $5.00. Code2001 was released under a [[free software license]] that prohibited most [[derivative work]]s 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" -->

*[[Phaistos]] (ConScript Unicode Registry)

==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
*[[Linear B]]
*[[Aegean civilization|Aegean]] numbers
*[[Phaistos]]
*[[Old Italic alphabet|Old Italic]]
*[[Gothic alphabet|Gothic]]

*[[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]], 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:
*[[Tengwar]]
*[[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 [[ideograph]]s. Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font.
