WorldScript II is Apple's trademark for the Mac OS technology that adapts the keyboard to allow the input of double-byte characters.
Scripts support the encoding of the character set for a particular language.
They also contain instructions for handling lines of text, sorting words, formatting dates, times, and numbers, and so on. Scripts also address input methods, i.e., ways of adapting the keyboard for the input of double-byte characters. Input methods are usually comprised of several different input modes for entering characters. In addition, the language kits include fonts , which govern the display and printing of a given script's character set. Version 1.0 was released for use with OS 7.1.
