'''Code2000''' is a [serif](/source/serif_font) and pan-[Unicode digital font](/source/Unicode_typefaces), which includes [characters](/source/Grapheme) and symbols from a very large range of [writing system](/source/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 15.1 standard](/source/Unicode) as practical (with 15.1 being the currently-released version), and to support [OpenType](/source/OpenType) digital typography features. Code2000 supports the [Basic Multilingual Plane](/source/Basic_Multilingual_Plane). '''Code2001''' was designed to support the [Supplementary Multilingual Plane](/source/Supplementary_Multilingual_Plane), with [ISO 8859-1](/source/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](/source/shareware)/[donationware](/source/donationware), with the licensing fee set at $5.00. Code2001 was released under a [free software license](/source/free_software_license) that prohibited most [derivative work](/source/derivative_work)s but otherwise allowed free use, redistribution and  [embedding](/source/font_embedding). The project was discontinued in 2008, with its web domain name later taken by an Australian [programming](/source/Computer_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" -->

==Code2001==
This is a second font in the ''Code 2000'' family. It covers the Unicode Plane One [Supplementary Multilingual Plane](/source/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](/source/ISO-8859-1) characters
*[Linear B](/source/Linear_B)
*[Aegean](/source/Aegean_civilization) numbers
*[Phaistos](/source/Phaistos)

*[Byzantine Musical Symbols](/source/Byzantine_Musical_Symbols)
*Musical Symbols
*[Tài Xuán Jīng](/source/T%C3%A0i_Xu%C3%A1n_J%C4%ABng) Symbols
*[Counting Rod](/source/Counting_rods) Numerals
*[Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols](/source/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](/source/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](/source/Supplementary_Ideographic_Plane). It also covers a few tags in Unicode Plane Fourteen [Supplementary Special-purpose Plane](/source/Supplementary_Special-purpose_Plane).

Also included are:
*[Tengwar](/source/Tengwar)
*[Cirth](/source/Cirth)
*[Pollard script](/source/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](/source/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](/source/Supplementary_Ideographic_Plane). This is a Supplementary Plane used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean [ideograph](/source/ideograph)s. Roughly 40% of Plane Two is included in this font.
