_A step towards Digital Independence_

Announcing the release of Beejnaagri and BeejU8 on the occasion of
59th Independence day.

Beejnaagri is a Unicode Transformation Fromat (UTF) for Devanagari.
It is a 12-bit encoding technique which encodes akshars rather than
swar, vyanjan and maatra separately.

Beejnaagri is expected to compress Devanagri text by 50-60% over
UTF-8. A similar technique can be applied to other Indic scripts.

BeejU8 v0.1 demonstrates the conversion between Beejnaagri and UTF-8.
It requires *nix environment. It has been tested on Ubuntu 6.06 with
very good results.

Please visit http://beejnaagri.sourceforge.net/ . It would be highly=20
appreciated if you can comment on Beejnaagri and test BeejU8 on your=20
systems and provide your valuable feedback.
