Re: Proposal to add Roman transliteration schemes to ISO 15924.

You don't need an ISO 15924 script code. You need to think in terms of BCP 47. Sanskrit in Latin would be sa-Latn. Now, if you want to distinguish the different transcription systems for writing Sanskrit in Latin, you can apply to registry a BCP 47 variant. There are also BCP 47 extension T, which

Re: A neat description of encoding characters

Indeed. Unicode separates: (1) selecting a character repertoire; (2) assigning each character a numerical character code; (3) choosing an encoding form to represent those character codes as code units (made up of bytes). (2) and (3) are not conflated. James On Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 9:54 AM 梁海

bcc: as an FYI - plz respond on the unicode mailing list as needed. namaste! Sanskrit has traditionally been written in a variety of scripts ranging from Sharada to Grantha. In the past two centuries, it has been written in Latin based scripts as well (please see

Re: A neat description of encoding characters

Grrr… It’s an okayish analog for binary numbers, but not really relevant to character encoding. Encoded characters are just assigned with integers, which could in turn be represented in any base. The binary nature of computers’ way of storing numbers does not have much to do with how character
