| | Globalization Step-by-Step: Complex Scripts Awareness |
 | | All language versions of Windows 2000 and Windows XP are enabled for all supported languages, thereby empowering applications that use Unicode as their encoding model to handle mixed text from any of the supported scripts. |
 | | For these particular scripts, the logical order (the order in which the user enters text with a sequence of virtual-key inputs) and the visual order (the order in which characters are represented to the user) are different in most cases. |
 | | Supported complex scripts in Windows XP are Arabic, Divehi, Hebrew, Syriac, Thai, Vietnamese, and the Indic family of scripts including Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu. |
