About The Codes
-
Use these codes if you need to insert a word or short phrase
within a multilingual text.
Declare Unicode Encoding
The codes listed below are valid for Unicode HTML pages only,
and may not work on very old browsers. To make your page a Unicode
page,
add the following meta tag to the portion of your document.
...
If you forget to include this tag, then some browsers, such as
Netscape 4.7, may not display the characters properly.
XHTML
The final close slash must be included after the final quote
mark in the encoding header tag if you are using XHTML
...
No Encoding Declared
If no encoding is declared, then the browser uses the default
setting, which in the U.S. is typically Latin-1. In that case many
Unicode characters
could be displayed incorrectly. Also, older browsers such as
Netscape 4.7 may not be able to process the entity codes correctly
without the "utf-
8" declaration.
-
Using the Entity Codes
The Unicode numeric entity codes can be expressed as either
decimal numbers or hexadecimal numbers.
For instance, the decimal version of the Sanskrit yog ()
would be
The hexadecimal version of Sanskrit yog () is
Note that the hexadecimal numbers include x as part of the
code.
Combining Signs
When codes for combining signs are inputted, they are placed on
the adjacent letter. Note that there are no specific codes for
conjunct
consonants. Unicode Devanagari fonts and Unicode text editors
will theoretically handle the display of conjunct consonants.
Thus the decimal version of the Devanagari form for Gujart ()
would be:
Windows Word Numeric Alt Codes
Use ALT plus the decimal version of any code to input it into a
Windows document.
Note: These work only in Word 2003+ for Winows. Users with other
software or versions of Windows may wish to use the Character Map
instead.
OS X Option Codes
-
If an application supports the Unicode Hex input Keyboard, then
use Option plus the hexadecimal number.
