Unicode vs. Unikod

[Jonathan Rosenne via Unicode]

Regarding http://unicode.org/standard/UnicodeTranscriptions.html the Hebrew (pointed) is wrong, the Holam point should be above the Vav. Attached are a word and pdf documents that appear correct on my computer, and a png.

Best Regards,

Jonathan Rosenne

It's hard to use foreign word in language until word is adopted. 
Russians don't do "ing", there are different rules in the language, so first goes adopting to "юникод": most notably, there is no vowel at the end of the word. Then this word can be transformed into something different, e.g. "юникодить" (verb, similar to "to unicode").

I don't think it's just a desire to rewrite a word in native script, it's how Russian language works, it not just a matter of spelling. 
"Юникод" is a Russian word, it's not just Cyrillic, it belongs to the Russian language, it does follow Russian language rules (word "Unicode" 
in Latin doesn't).

It's probably this link: 
http://unicode.org/standard/UnicodeTranscriptions.html

It says "Юникод" in Russian, which is fine. But Russian translation of "What is Unicode" 
(http://www.unicode.org/standard/translations/russian.html) uses original word "Unicode", and that's also fine. Both words means the same thing, it's all good.
