* [Bug localedata/828] New: Glibc does not have localedata for Devanagari ISCII encoding @ 2005-04-06 14:02 jnansi at redhat dot com 2005-04-06 14:03 ` [Bug localedata/828] " jnansi at redhat dot com ` (2 more replies) 0 siblings, 3 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: jnansi at redhat dot com @ 2005-04-06 14:02 UTC (permalink / raw) To: glibc-bugs ISCII is the original encoding standard designed for 10 indic scripts (which have evolved from brahmi). Unicode support for these 10 scripts is based on this standard. More information is available at the following URLs: http://tdil.mit.gov.in/standards.htm#iscii http://www.cdacindia.com/html/gist/standard/iscii.asp The standard document itself is available here: http://varamozhi.sourceforge.net/iscii91.pdf This standard is old and outdated, and all newer data is in UTF-8. However support for this encoding is necessary for converting from older iscii data to UTF-8. One of the 10 supported scripts is Devanagari. I have created a localedata file for Devanagari ISCII (attached). I can forsee the following issues: 1. Naming of the encoding - since the standard encompasses 10 scrips but has a single name (ISCII) naming encoding for the different scripts is difficult. Since the Tamil encoding is called TSCII, I recommend DSCII for the devanagari encoding. 2. ISCII specifies double byte sequences for representing certain characters (such as unicode 0950 - OM). These characters are not yet supported in the attached charmap. -- Summary: Glibc does not have localedata for Devanagari ISCII encoding Product: glibc Version: 2.3.2 Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: localedata AssignedTo: pere at hungry dot com ReportedBy: jnansi at redhat dot com CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=828 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Add the multibyte sequences, add an iconv converter (maybe we can automatically generate it, I'm not sure), and add tests for the converter. Ideally we should also have at the same time support for the other ISCII encodings. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |WAITING http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=828 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
