Uniscribe OS Design Development (Windows CE 5.0)
The Unicode Script Processor for Complex Scripts (Uniscribe) technology supports scripts that require special processing to display and edit because their characters are not laid out in a linear progression from left to right. Windows CE provides the correct text handling and layout for these scripts, and for mirroring capabilities.
Note The Unicode Script Processor for Complex Scripts should not be used for East Asian scripts, such as Hangul or Chinese.
