Uniscribe OS Design Development (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
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 Embedded 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.
You can add a registry key to your OS design that lets users enabled or disable Uniscribe on a target device. For more information, see Uniscribe Registry Settings.
