Individual and student members are important contributors to the work of

the Unicode Consortium. From the encoding of rare and minority scripts

to collecting and vetting locale data, individuals help develop the next

generation of Unicode standards and data. To promote participation, the

Unicode Consortium has lowered the price for individual memberships to

$75 per year and student memberships to $35 per year. The new rates are

effective January 1, 2010 and existing memberships will be extended in

accordance with the new lower prices.

The Unicode Consortium has also moved to online publication of the

standard as of Version 5.2, and the entire text of the standard is

freely available for online reading and printing. Copies of the book are

no longer printed and are therefore no longer included as a membership

benefit.

For more information on the benefits of individual membership and how to

join, see: http://www.unicode.org/consortium/join.html
