 From http://www.unicode.org/policies/logo_policy.html :

You may use the Unicode Word Mark to refer to the Unicode® 
Standard, to other Unicode® specifications, tools and code, and 
to Unicode® seminars, tutorials, meetings, and events, so long as 
any such references (a) are truthful, fair, and not misleading, 
and (b) follow these Guidelines.

     Always use “Unicode” as an adjective followed by an 
appropriate noun. Do not use “Unicode” alone as a noun. Do not 
pluralize it or make it possessive, and do not alter its spelling.
     Use the ® symbol to indicate that the Unicode Mark is a 
registered trademark. The symbol should be used in all prominent 
references to the Unicode Mark, such as headlines, chapter 
titles, packaging, advertising, etc. The symbol should also be 
used in the first reference to the Unicode Mark in body copy, but 
may thereafter be omitted in body copy.
     Use the appropriate Trademark Legend (see below) in the 
footnotes or footers of any material making reference to the 
Unicode Mark.

Incorrect: Unicode
Correct: The Unicode® Standard


I was rather surprised by this.
