Junicode (short for Junius-Unicode) is a free Unicode typeface for medievalists, designed by Peter S. Baker of University of Virginia. The roman characters are based on a typeface used by the Clarendon Press in the 17th century. It is very similar in style to typefaces of the 18th century such as Caslon. It includes characters used in European medieval texts, in the Unicode ranges:

  • Basic Latin (ASCII) (0000–007F)
  • Latin 1 Supplement (00A0–00FF)
  • Latin Extended A (0100–017F)

  • Spacing Modifier Letters (02B0–02FF)
  • Combining Diacritical Marks (0300–036F)
  • Greek (0370–03FF)
  • Runic (16A0–16FF)
  • Phonetic Extensions (1D00–1D6F)
  • Latin Extended Additional (1E00–1EFF)
