Mansi et al. in Print before and under Unicode

Summary/Abstract: The Unicode Standard, in its various iterations, aims to provide and ­guarantee consistent, transparent and reliable encoding for the totality of all ­codified human writing systems. How successful these aims have been in practice greatly depends on the support individual languages and varieties enjoy in politics and infrastructures. This contribution looks at the realities of the digital and print ­realization of Uralic minority languages, especially Mansi, in the past and today. Based on interviews and the study of surviving digital files, it aims to make knowledge held by relevant scholars accessible to a broader audience.
