Analysis of ISCII Romanisation Characters

Note that the encoding is somewhat approximate, as Roman mode seems to be a font-encoded(?) transliteration. The source document is an imperfect copy of ISCII-91 (a.k.a. ISI3194:1991), and did not include the Vedic extensions.

Several common programs (e.g. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 Beta 3 on Windows XP) have difficulty rendering this page. Deer Park had superable difficulties in printing the page. There is therefore also a PDF version.

Asterisked names are names that have not yet been fully accepted as names of Unicode character sequences. Unasterisked names are names of the Unicode character or named sequence. Note that the sequences of pure vowel with macron and grave were included in Unicode 4.1.0.

The named sequences to be proposed are:
