Ken's CJK Type Blog at Adobe
Unicode specification, surprisingly readable though large
An introductory tutorial Elecia found helpful

Open source type faces

Source Sans Pro OpenType font family (for UIs)
Source Code Pro OpenType font family (for programming environments)

Adobe's open source projects and Ken's contribution to those:

Adobe Blank is a special-purpose OpenType font, making webpages wait to load fonts until they have the correct one
AGL and AGLFN (Adobe Glyph List) maps glyph names to Unicode values
CMap Resources are used to unidirectionally map character codes
CSS Orientation Test are lightweight and special-purpose OpenType fonts that map all Unicode code points to glyphs that indicate their orientation based on the writing direction.
Kenten Generic OpenType Font provides glyphs suitable for typesetting emphasis marks in Japanese.
Mapping Resources for PDF are used to derive content from PDF files that include CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) information.
