Fallback for Sinhala Consonant Clusters

Are there fallback rules for Sinhala consonant clusters? There are fallback rules for Devanagari, but I'm not sure if they read across. The problem I am seeing is that the Pali syllable 'ndhe' න්‍ධෙ is being rendered identically to a hypothetical Sinhalese 'nēdha' නේධ , which in NFD is , when

In summary, two disating implementations are allowed to return different values t and t' of Base64_Encode(d) from the same message d, but both Base64_Decode(t') and Base64_Decode(t) will be equal and will MUST return d exactly. There's an allowed choice of implementation for Base64_Encode() but

Re: Base64 encoding applied to different unicode texts always yields different base64 texts ... true or false?

You forget that Base64 (as used in MIME) does not follow these rules as it allows multiple different encodings for the same source binary. MIME actually splits a binary object into multiple fragments at random positions, and then encodes these fragments separately. Also MIME uses an extension of

Hi Folks, Thank you for your outstanding responses! Below is a summary of what I learned. Are there any errors in the summary? Is there anything you would add? Please let me know of anything that is not clear. /Roger 1. While base64 encoding is usually applied to binary, it is also
