Re: Hindi characters for transcribing the sound "e"

[Mark Davis]

 There are two different processes: transliteration (which is by letter) and transscription (which is by sound).   If transliteration is what you mean, I just checked with the ICU online demo at http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/tr, and "e" is transliterated as U+090E "ऎ" DEVANAGARI LETTER SHORT E*. ICU transliteration for Devanagari is based on ISCII (for the exact composition, see the last section of http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/Transliteration.html, called "Script Transliteration Sources".   Mark   * I use the demo fairly often simply to get hex converted to and from characters, and characters converted to and from names.   —————   Πόλλ’ ἠπίστατο ἔργα, κακῶς δ’ ἠπίστατο πάντα — Ὁμήρου Μαργίτῃ [For transliteration, see http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/tr]   http://www.macchiato.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Aman Chawla To: Unicode Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 05:48 Subject: Hindi characters for transcribing the sound "e" With reference to the FAQ: http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/indic.html#13, I would like to know what are the Hindi characters used to transcribe the sound "e" (as in English "bet", "bed", "red" etc.) in Unicode.
