The
Adopt-a-Character program has awarded a grant to support further development
of the following four Indic scripts in the Unicode Standard:
- Hanifi Rohingya, a script in current use in Myanmar and Bangladesh
- Nandinagari, a Brahmi-based historic script
formerly used in South India
- Old Sogdian, a group of historic scripts formerly used in Kazakhstan,
Pakistan, and Western China
- Sogdian, derived from Old Sogdian, a group of historic scripts formerly
used in Central Asia
The goal of this grant is to enable the development of
encoding proposals that can be included in the Unicode Standard. The work will
be done by Anshuman Pandey under the direction of Deborah Anderson (SEI, UC
Berkeley) and Rick McGowan (Unicode Consortium).
