Unicode Range And Language
Unicode Range
The unicode-range property lets you define the range of Unicode
characters supported by a given font, rather than providing the complete
range. This can be useful to restrict support for a wide variety of languages
or mathematical symbols, and thus reduce bandwidth usage.
Imagine that you want to include some Japanese characters on your page.
Using the font-face rule, you can have multiple declarations for the
same font-family, each providing a different font file to download and a
different Unicode range (or even overlapping ranges). The browser should
only download the ranges needed to render that specific page. To see
examples of how unicode-range could work, head over to the spec՚s
draft page.
Language
Use the :lang pseudo-class to create language-sensitive typography.
So, you could have one background color for text set in French (fr) and
another for text set in German (de):
1 div:lang(fr) {(^2) background-color: blue;
3 }
4
5 div:lang(de) {
(^6) background-color: yellow;
7 }
