Devanagari is a Unicode block containing characters for writing languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Bodo, Maithili, Sindhi, Nepali, and Sanskrit, among others.In its original incarnation, the code points U+0900..U+0954 were a direct copy of the characters A0-F4 from the 1988 ISCII standard.
Any one of the Unicode fonts input systems is fine for the Indic language Wikipedia and other wikiprojects, including Hindi, Bhojpuri, Marathi, and Nepali Wikipedia. While some people use InScript , the majority uses either Google phonetic transliteration or the input facility Universal Language Selector provided on Wikipedia.
[3]: 4 The lower 128 code points are plain ASCII, the upper 128 code points are ISCII-specific. In addition to the code points representing characters, ISCII makes use of a code point with mnemonic ATR that indicates that the following byte contains one of two kinds of information. One set of values changes the writing system until the next ...
A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name. A numeric character reference uses the format &#nnnn; or &#xhhhh; where nnnn is the code point in decimal form, and hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form.
The Devanagari character can be found at code point U+0964 (।) in Unicode. The "double daṇḍa" is at U+0965 (॥). The Unicode standard recommends using this character also in other Indic scripts, like Bengali, Telugu, Oriya, and others. [3] Encoding it separately for every Indic script was proposed, [4] but this has not been implemented.
Unicode equivalence is the specification by the Unicode character encoding standard that some sequences of code points represent essentially the same character. This feature was introduced in the standard to allow compatibility with pre-existing standard character sets , which often included similar or identical characters.
2. ^ Grey areas indicate non-assigned code points Template documentation [ view ] [ edit ] [ history ] [ purge ] {{ Unicode chart Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols }} provides a list of Unicode code points in the Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols block.
A block is a uniquely named, contiguous range of code points. It is identified by its first and last code point. Blocks do not overlap. A block may contain code points that are reserved, not-assigned, etc. Each character that is assigned, has a single "block name" value from the 338 names assigned as of Unicode version 16.0. Unassigned code ...
