The sign 
is used by the Heptapods in the film Arrival for referring to ‘human’.
It articulates the tactile, technical, and sensory beauty of
communicating language through visible signs. I see it as an emblem of
my work on digital technologies for writing and text, the very human
method of capturing speech and thought through material inscriptions.
As part of my passion for technologies of text, I actively expand support
for the world’s writing systems in The Unicode Standard.
My contributions enable the basic foundations
for the creation, exchange, display, and processing of digital text, from the
earliest pictographs to those of the present (= emoji), and all of the
alphabets, abugidas, and abjads in between.
My goal is to see the display, input, and exchange of text
in any script — sround the globe and across temporal frames —
is as digitally native as the English text that you are now reading,
wherever you are.
