√𝚎𝚍-format: The rich Unicode text editing format

All tools in √𝚎𝚍, the rich Unicode text editing (RUTED, pronounced ˈruːtɪd) suite, share the same underlying format. The √𝚎𝚍 suite allows you to enter Unicode symbols easily and consistently in different applications and operating systems. √𝚎𝚍-format consists of various detailed modes that map source input strings to symbolic Unicode characters. Each mode focuses on a single category of Unicode symbols, like characters in a bold font, mathematical symbols, arrows, etc.

√𝚎𝚍-format is still very much a work in progress. Current version: 1.0.0-alpha.4.
