  • Analysis of Comments for Telugu Script LGR Proposal for the Root Zone Revision: June 30, 2019
    Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel: Analysis of comments for Telugu script LGR Proposal for the Root Zone Revision: June 30, 2019 Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel (NBGP) published the Telugu script LGR Propsoal for the Root Zone for public comment on 8 August 2018. This document is an additional document of the public comment report, collecting NBGP analyses as well as the concluded responses. There is 1 (one) comment submission. The analysis is as follow: No. 1 From Liang Hai Subject A Quick review of the Telugu proposal Comment 2, “telɯgɯ”: This is probably a phonetic transcription, not an accurate transliteration that should be used in this document. NBGP The NBGP acknowledges the comment. Analysis NBGP Updated the proposal in section 2 to use ‘Telugu’ Response Comment 3.5, “… and 16 dependent signs”: 15. NBGP There are 16 Matras: 14 Matras are in the repertoire, 2 Matras are Analysis excluded from the repertoire. NBGP No action required. Response Comment 3.5.1: Vocalic l should be categorized with vocalic rr and vocalic ll. Transliteration of vocalic ll is wrong. NBGP Agree. Analysis NBGP Update as suggested. Response 1 Comment 3.5.1, R1, “ca= a consonant with an inherent ‘a’”: When discussing text encoding, Indic consonants naturally are with an inherent vowel. Try to distinguish phonetic seQuence and written forms and encoded character sequence. The 3 lines under R1 are not helpful. NBGP The comment does not affect the normative part of the LGR. Analysis NBGP No action required. Response Comment 3.5.3: The introduction of arasunna usage is unclear. Is it commonly used today or not? NBGP The arsunna is not used frequently and it is not in the MSR.

  • An Introduction to Indic Scripts
    An Introduction to Indic Scripts Richard Ishida W3C [email protected] HTML version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.html PDF version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.pdf Introduction This paper provides an introduction to the major Indic scripts used on the Indian mainland. Those addressed in this paper include specifically Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu. I have used XHTML encoded in UTF-8 for the base version of this paper. Most of the XHTML file can be viewed if you are running Windows XP with all associated Indic font and rendering support, and the Arial Unicode MS font. For examples that require complex rendering in scripts not yet supported by this configuration, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Malayalam, I have used non- Unicode fonts supplied with Gamma's Unitype. To view all fonts as intended without the above you can view the PDF file whose URL is given above. Although the Indic scripts are often described as similar, there is a large amount of variation at the detailed implementation level. To provide a detailed account of how each Indic script implements particular features on a letter by letter basis would require too much time and space for the task at hand. Nevertheless, despite the detail variations, the basic mechanisms are to a large extent the same, and at the general level there is a great deal of similarity between these scripts. It is certainly possible to structure a discussion of the relevant features along the same lines for each of the scripts in the set.

  • N4185 Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISO/IEC 10646
    ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N4185 L2/12-011R 2012-05-03 Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISO/IEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey Department of History University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A. [email protected] May 3, 2012 1 Introduction This is a preliminary proposal to encode the Siddham script in the Universal Character Set (ISO/IEC 10646). It is a collaborative effort between the Script Encoding Initiative (SEI) at the University of California, Berke- ley and the Shingon Buddhist International Institute, Fresno, California. Feedback is requested from experts and users of the script. Comments may be submitted to the author at the email address given above. Siddham is a Brahmi-based writing system that originated in India, but which is used primarily in East Asia. At present it is associated with esoteric Buddhist traditions in Japan. Nevertheless, Siddham is structurally an Indic script and its proposed encoding adheres to the UCS model for Brahmi-based writing systems, such as Devanagari and similar scripts. The technical description for Siddham given here may differ from the traditional analysis and philosophical interpretations of the script and its constituent characters and glyphs. An attempt has been made to encode all distinct characters attested in Siddham records, although more characters may be uncovered through additional research. The characters that are proposed for encoding have been analyzed in accordance with the character-glyph model of the UCS. As a result, the proposed encoding may contain characters that are not part of traditional character repertoires. It may also exclude characters that are traditionally regarded as independent letters, such as conjuncts, which are to be represented in the manner specified by the UCS encoding model.

  • A Barrier to Indic-Language Implementation of Unicode Is the Perception That Encoding Order in Unicode Is Equivalent to Lingui
    Issues in Indic Language Collation Issues in Indic Language Collation Cathy Wissink Program Manager, Windows Globalization Microsoft Corporation I. Introduction As the software market for India1 grows, so does the interest in developing products for this market, and Unicode is part of many vendors’ solutions. However, many software vendors see a barrier to implementing Unicode on products for the Indic-language market. This barrier is the perception that deficiencies in Unicode will keep software developers from creating products that are culturally and linguistically appropriate for the Indian market. This perception manifests itself in a number of ways, but one major concern that the Indic language community has voiced is the fact that the Unicode character encoding order is not appropriate for linguistic collation (or sorting). This belief that character encoding order in Unicode must be equivalent to linguistic collation of these same scripts and their respective languages is considered by some developers a blocking point to adoption of Unicode in the Indian market, and is indicative of the greater concern within the Indic-language community about the feasibility of Unicode for their scripts. This paper will demonstrate that this perceived barrier to Unicode adoption does not exist and that it is possible to provide properly globalized software for the Indic market with the current implementation of Unicode, using the example of Indic language collation. A brief history of Indic encodings will be given to set the stage for the current mentality regarding Unicode in the Indian market. The basics of linguistic collation and its application to Indic scripts will then be discussed, compared to encoding, and demonstrated as it exists on Windows XP.

They were hosted on Michael Everson’s site, and this caused difficulties for WG2 in referencing them. The Unicode Consortium has offered to host the Roadmap documents as official Unicode documents, acknowledging their usefulness and stability. This should allow WG2 to reference them by URL (http://www.unicode.org/roadmaps). Whenever major revisions are made, the Unicode Consortium will forward a document similar to this one to WG2. 1 2001-04-01 Roadmap to the BMP 2001-10-10 15:28 Roadmap to the BMP Home ||Site Map Search Tables Roadmap to the BMP Roadmap Introduction Roadmap to the Revision 3.0 BMP (Plane 0) Authors Michael Everson, Rick McGowan, Ken Whistler Roadmap to the SMP (Plane 1) Date 2001-10-10 Roadmap to the SIP (Plane 2) This Version http://www.unicode.org/roadmaps/bmp-3-0.html Roadmap to the SSP (Plane 14) Previous Version n/a Not the Roadmap Latest Version http://www.unicode.org/roadmaps/bmp-3-0.html More Information Summary The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0 The following table comprises a proportional map of Plane 0, the BMP (Basic Multilingual Proposed Plane).
