For the record:
"The number of human languages is much larger than the number of
systems for writing them down, but the definitive reference on the
subject, The World's Writing Systems (Peter T. Daniels and William
Bright, eds.), still has 74 big sections, most of which discuss not
one but a family of related writing systems. The Unicode system, which
we'll discuss in depth, covers some three dozen different
language-oriented character sets."
