	Main Articles: 'Unicode and Historic Scripts', Ariadne Issue 37
		Attaining universal coverage of the world's scripts will help users be able to access and use any script in email, Web pages, electronic versions of documents, etc. With the release of Unicode 4.0, over 96,000 characters are encoded, covering a large number of scripts and their languages [3].
		Scripts in red are missing detailed proposals, those in blue have proposals submitted to one of the two international standards bodies, the Unicode Technical Committee or the Working Group 2 (WG2) of the ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 Subcommittee 2 (JTC1/SC2).
		Scripts that have not yet been formally proposed or are without a proposal, are listed on the "Roadmaps" Web page on the Unicode Consortium Web site [8].

	BhashaIndia.com :: Indic Script
		Unicode as an encoding is more than sufficient to support Indic scripts and languages, since it is only one step of many to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate software for India; software vendors must complete the globalization work needed to support Indic scripts and languages.
		A brief history of Indic encodings is given to set the stage for the current mentality regarding Unicode in the Indian market.
		This perception manifests itself in a number of ways, but one concern that the Indic language community has voiced is the belief that the Unicode character encoding order is not appropriate for linguistic collation (or sorting).

	Proposed script codes for the ConScript Unicode Registry
		The following is a suggested assignment of ISO 15924:2004 script codes to the 41 “constructed” scripts registered in, or proposed for, the ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR).
		These user-defined alphabetic and numeric script codes fall within the ISO 15924 range marked “Reserved for private use,” just as the characters in the scripts are assigned to code points within the Private Use Area of Unicode.
		For more information about the ConScript Unicode Registry, visit the CSUR home page or contact Michael Everson or John Cowan.

	ConScript Unicode Registry
		The purpose of the ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) is to coordinate the assignment of blocks out of the Unicode Private Use Area (E000-F8FF and 000F0000-0010FFFF) to constructed/artificial scripts, including scripts for constructed/artificial languages.
		This is a volunteer effort to maintain a Registry of scripts and the codes assigned to them.
		A summary Roadmap to the ConScript Unicode Registry is available.

	[Stoa Consortium] Unicode Polytonic Greek for the World Wide Web (UPGW3)
		Unicode is a universal standard for character encoding, developed and published by the Unicode Consortium, that permits millions of separate characters to be referenced with one standard: enough for all the alphabets, syllabaries, logographic and mixed scripts used by modern readers as well as a large number of ancient scripts.
		Unicode is a universal standard maintained by the International Standards Organization and the international Unicode Consortium, a standard which has been adopted by the internation World Wide Web Consortium as the standard method of encoding text for World Wide Web documents.
		Unicode includes ranges for basic Greek and Coptic, extended Greek characters, and combining diacriticals, which together allow for the representation of all character and diacritical combinations in the polytonic classical Greek writing system.

	Unicode Support in Your Browser
		Unicode is the World's standard for encoding text.
		Most all of the characters used in modern writing systems have already been assigned to unique code positions and work is under way to add some fairly exotic modern scripts as well as provide standardized encoding for ancient scripts.
		If your browser has multilingual capabilities, it probably uses Unicode to address the various letters, characters, and symbols shown on your screen.

	THDL: Tibetan & Himalayan Scripts
		More recently, Tibetan scripts have moved into the digital domain, with a broad spectrum of character encoding schemes corresponding to different fonts, and the recent international standard encoding scheme known as "Unicode".
		This site is dedicated to those scripts, and the Tibetan men and women who over the centuries have created, used and read them with passion, intelligence and committment to their own culture and language.
		The Tibetan and Himalayan Scripts page is the central index to all of THDL's resources on the history and contemporary situation of the Tibetan language in all its written forms.

	Introduction to Indic languages : Globalizing your e-business
		For Indic scripts, the text pre-processor and IME reduce a script to its basic parts, and the mapping table allocates the layout to be used for the characters, based on the context in which the characters appear (i.e.
		Unicode, having been based on ISCII-88, supports this also.

	Characters, glyphs, and elements
		In Indic scripts, most glyphs of consonant clusters correspond to several combined Unicode characters, and not to a separate Unicode character.
		A script may be analyzed into a minimal set of elements (vowels, consonants, etc.), such that the linguistic meaning of any text using the script is expressible in terms of these elements.
		For example, in older English spelling the vowels e, æ are contrasting elements of Latin script, but for recent English spelling e, æ are equivalent orthography and æ is not needed as an element.

	Manpage of iscii2ps
		ISCII-8 codes are eight bit wide stateful codes that support changes in the script, display attributes such as bold, italic etc. UNICODE and UTF-8 are stateless character codes that do not support the display attributes.

		As shown above the beginning and ending tags for the scripts must be same except terminating symbol in the ending tag.

		In accordance with Unicode specifications, however, the tehtar are encoded as non-spacing characters, and so must follow the consonant over which they appear.
