+The 80-Year Computer Scientist Who Termed 'Unix' Adds Unicode Support to AWK Code
+======
+Brian Kernighan is still active to add code contributions to his original project AWK in his 80s. That's inspiring!
+
+![The 80-Year Computer Scientist Who Termed 'Unix' Adds Unicode Support to AWK Code][1]
+
+**Brian Kernighan** is popularly known for his work along with the creators of Unix, **Ken Thompson** and **Dennis Ritchie**. He made significant contributions to the development of Unix.
+
+Not just that, Brian Kernighan also suggested the name "**Unix**" and created the "*Hello, world*" as a test phrase for programs.
+
+You might also recognize him as a co-author of the book "*The C Programming Language*" along with Dennis Ritchie. So, it is safe to say he's an important part of everything you know about Unix, Linux, BSD, and the evolution of C programming language.
+
+And, as an **80-year-old**(now), he seems to have invested some time to add a new feature to "**AWK**", a scripting language he co-created back in the 1970s.
+
+💙 That's **wonderful**, right? And, sounds like something to **inspire** us.
+
+**Note:** *[AWK is still a powerful utility to process text and extract data, true to its original purpose. If you're curious, you can learn more about it on freeCodeCamp.][2]*
+
+### Adding Unicode Support to AWK
+
+The feature addition was recently spotted by [The Register][3] via a recent interview on YouTube.
+
+Technically, the contribution was made a few months back, but now it's getting the attention.
+
+![Coffee with Brian Kernighan - Computerphile][4]
+
+Of course, the feature addition may not be a big deal for many. But, the effort behind it, and who contributed it, makes a world of difference.
+
+Moreover, it is **interesting** to note that he is not entirely aware of how Git works. So, keeping that in mind, I think he did pretty well with the commit here:

+[Add BWK’s email. · onetrueawk/awk@9ebe940][5]
+
+He mentions:
+
+I would recommend you to watch the interview linked above, if you have a curiosity on the original creators and contributors of Unix and many essential innovations along the way.
+
+You can also check more of his work and recent books in his page on [Princeton University's website][6].
