[Indic-computing-users] Re: Unicode on Prof. RKK's web site

standard.

Keyur, not at all.

In fact, Prof. Krishnan is writing a monograph to document
the problems of Unicode vis a vis Indian languages. His
focus will be on the limitations of Microsoft's
Unicode-based approach to Indic language issues. If anyone
on this list has specific ideas about what else he should
tackle in this monograph, please write to him at
rk...@ac...

From my own association with him for the last several
months, I know that he certainly does not reject Unicode
wholesale. However, he is keen that the Indic developer
community become aware of, and address the problem areas. I
am sure his monograph will throw more light on the subject.
