In order to do this earlier, I needed all kinds of LaTeX goo...
Incidentally, this site has all kinds of useful information on entering and reading characters from different languages.
Aside: I just realized that Safari mangles the fonts: Hindi slightly, but the Tamil is completely unrecognizable. I can understand that the mapping table for Tamil is not loaded, but the Hindi rendering has the right map, but is wrongly rendered. Interesting...
and in Tamil:

The Hindi one looks fine but the tamil just look like a row of boxes all with the same odd glyph inside them, in Safari on my Mac. I agree, unicode is cool, before it came along I was quite sick of using a 256-char western European character set and e.g. never being able to type Jirka Matoušek's name correctly. We'll see how well blogger handles it when I type it now...looks ok in the posting window at least.

And KDE/Mozilla has surprisingly good support for entering text in such languages and using unicode.
ReplyDeleteThe Hindi one is slightly wrong: the "i" mark should be on the "n" and not on the "y": what you've written above is effectively "Venkatasubramanayin". My guess is that since the "i" mark appears before the consonant it modifies in Devanagari, you also have to type its code before the consonant's code. I don't know anything about INSCRIPT, I'm just guessing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not seeing the same boxes as David; Safari is rendering both Hindi and Tamil. Of course, I have no idea if it's right.
