The Adopt-a-Character program was launched in 2015. Since that time, AAC funds have supported Unicode's mission to ensure everyone can communicate in their own language. This includes preserving historical scripts such as Egyptian hieroglyphics and providing better language support for digitally disadvantaged and under-resourced languages such as Hanifi Rohingya used in Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Now you can more easily adopt a character and show off your hobby or business, favorite sport, or love – while also supporting a good cause. You can also give the gift of a letter to someone in your life. The possibilities are endless – and each adoption helps Unicode’s goal to support the world’s languages.
All character adoptions are permanent. Adoption of a specific character at the limited gold and silver levels is on a first-come-first-served basis. All sponsors receive a digital badge and are recognized on Unicode’s website, Twitter feed, and Friends of Unicode Facebook page.
