I have created a Tcl/Tk mock-up of a Devanagari (Indic) keyboard,
modeled after the Wikipedia page on Devanagari.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devan%C4%81gar%C4%AB
It is very interesting to see the variation in which various operating
systems handle UTF-8 and Unicode streams containing Devanagari
diacritical markups.
