2.1 Introduction

{: id="kixt.introduction"}

Although [Unicode] generally provides an extensive and well‐supported means of storing, classifying, rendering, and transforming text, its status as a universal character set means that minority and experimental scripts may not have a proper representation at a given time. Kixt (KIBI text) aims to provide a limited means for documenting character sets and properties in a simple and clearly‐defined manner.
