Unicode 2019 Bulldog Awards

announces the 2019 Bulldog Award recipients: Andy Heninger and Norbert
Lindenberg.

Andy Heninger is recognized for many years of contributions to the work
of the Consortium, including providing crucial implementations of
segmentation and regular expression support in International Components
for Unicode (ICU). Prior to having these functions in ICU, support for
them in Unicode implementations was very limited. Both contributions are
key to robust text support. For example, correct segmentation is what
keeps family emoji from splitting apart!

Norbert Lindenberg has made significant contributions over the years to
internationalizing the Web and has brought deep script expertise to the
Unicode Script Ad Hoc group. He has contributed to the models of many of
the Unicode Standard’s complex scripts, including Thai, Myanmar, Khmer,
Javanese, and Tamil. His work has been used by organizations such as
Mozilla, Yahoo!, Sun Microsystems, and Apple.

For many years, both have been bulldogs for robust Unicode text support.
