+The unisugar package
+v 0.91
+
+The package requires an TeX-alike system that uses Unicode input
+in a native way: current examples are XeTeX and LuaTeX.
+
+This package provides syntactic sugar for LaTeX commands, using selected
+Unicode characters: Certain Unicode characters can be used as shorthand for
+popular LaTeX commands, e.g., a Unicode bullet can be used instead of a \item,
+and a pilcrow can be used instead paragraph.
+
+The intent is to minimize the use of English left-to-right charactes in
+documents whose main language is written right-to-left, since mixing characters
+of different directionality confuses both text editors and human beings.
+
+Using this package, you may find yourself typing a bit less,
+provided you can configure your text editor or keyboard driver to
+generate the handful of Unicode characters defined by this package.
+More importantly, the package is useful in defining macros whose name
+is composed of right-to-left characters and in minimizing mixed
+directionality text in right-to-left documents.
