	Data Entry methods suited for Indian languages
		ISCII was proposed in the eighties and a suitable standard was evolved by 1991.
		The ISCII code is reasonably well suited for representing the syllables of Indian languages, though one must remember that a multiple byte representation is inevitable, which could vary from one byte to as many as 10 bytes for a syllable.
		ISCII codes have nothing to do with fonts and a given text in ISCII may be displayed using many different fonts for the same script.

	Character Encoding Standard for Indian Scripts - A Report
		The ISCII code table is a superset of all the characters required in the 10 Brahmi-based Indian scripts.
		ISCII encoding is completely delinked from the physical glyphs used for display making it possible for a script to be displayed in a variety of styles depending on the conjunct (ligature) repertoire available in the glyph set.
		The ISCII numerals should be used only when it is not possible to use the ATR mechanism for selecting numerals in an Indian script.

		Devanagari is a form of alphabet called an abugida, as each consonant has an inherent vowel (a), that can be changed with the different vowel signs.

		ISCII (Indian Script Code for Information Interchange) is a coding scheme for representing various Indic scripts.
		So ISCII tries to encode the logical structure of the Indic scripts, while script-specific letter shape are expected to be selected by markup or font specification in rich text.
		For plain text documents the non-printing ATR character can be used to select script-specific letter shape (this mechanism is similar to the use of escape sequences).

		However, ISCII is now being overshadowed by the adoption of a second-generation, globally coordinated Unicode approach.
		Instead of relying on ISCII's and Unicode's complex and potentially inaccurate combination of vowels, consonants, matras and context markers to generate syllables, "Aksharas" or syllables are encoded directly.
		The real problem for both ISCII and Unicode is the necessity to have context markers (made up of multi-byte meta-sequences) which identify the "correct" way to render a glyph.

	FAQ - Indic Scripts and Languages
		ISCII was evolved by a standardization committee under the Department of Electronics during 1986-88, and adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1991.
		The ISCII Attribute code (ATR) is not represented in the Unicode Standard, which is a plain text standard.
		The ISCII Attribute code is intended to explicitly define a font attribute applicable to following characters, and thus represents an embedded control for the kinds of font and style information which is not carried in a plain text encoding.

		By treating all indian scripts under one scheme, ISCII philosophy does not take advantage of the fact that Tamil can be encoded in a simple form that seamlessly integrates with existing computing platforms without requiring specialised rendering technologies.

	Challenges in Supporting Indic Scripts in the Solaris Operating System
		ISCII, which is derived from the Brahmi script, was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1991.
		Unlike Unicode, ISCII is an 8-bit encoding that uses escape sequences to announce the particular Indic script represented by a coded character sequence.
		Format controls (such as the ISCII "INV" operator and isolated vowel matras or explicit virama) and spelling mechanisms of Unicode and ISCII differ slightly, but are easily converted without data loss (see http://www.unicode.org/faq/indic_old.html).

		Iscii plugin converts the incoming iscii stream into font glyph sequences, for the user defined fonts at the client end.

		Hmmm, then, instead of 10646, let's refer to the Indian national standard ISCII-1988 from which devanagari section of DIS 10646 is derived.
		It is the intended use of ISCII to make negotiation between sender and receiver on the language used.
		Of course, such a policy was completely ratioinal when ISCII was designed as a 7 bit code for all Indean languages.

		The syntax for the above is : iconverter -e encoding_file iscii_coded_file_name unicode_file_name For the conversion from unicode to iscii coded file the syntax is : iconverter -e encoding_file unicode_coded_file_name iscii_file_name The encoding_file for the code conversions contains the mapping from one code space to another and is different for different Indian languages.
		It is also different when converting from iscii to unicode as against unicode to iscii for the same language.
		An example for conversion back to iscii would be : iconverter -e unicode_iscii_bng bng.uni bng.isc This does the conversion of an unicode coded bengali file to its equivalent iscii codes.

		Because the Indian area of Unicode is based on ISCII, some of the dummy characters and metacharacters that were needed in ISCII are now enshrined in Unicode, even though they do not correspond to any actual language entity.
		ISCII is perhaps the most interesting and ingenious of the 8-bit ASCII-based character sets.
		Although the original ISCII standard was able to represent most Indian languages intelligibly, its limited number of code points could not express, even with metacharacters, the amount of information needed for Indian language processing, leaving most decisions at the mercy of the text rendering agent -- usually the font.

		ISCII is a super set of all Indic scripts, which (almost) covers all the vagaries of Indic scripts (but it's hard to satisfy everyone, so you'll see occassional complaints on this matter).
		The problem with ISCII is that it's use is not widespread and no good fonts exist.
		Further, support for ISCII in free software like Linux and BSD using the X windowing system is weak, making cheap kannada computing hard.
