Global communications, as with the Internet, require that computers in all countries and languages be compatible in recognizing the language in which a specific text is written. In order to implement this compatibility, a standard called Unicode is being developed. Unicode is a character identification system that attempts to include all the characters of all the languages of the world that have a writing system.

The tendency is that all the operating systems will start using Unicode-based fonts and phase out old fonts that do not use this standard.

Khmer has already been included in Unicode.
