Devanagari
Info · Characters
The Devanagari Unicode block contains the core set of characters for the Devanagari script, one of India’s most widely used writing systems. Devanagari is employed for several major South Asian languages and is integral to the literary, religious, and cultural heritage of the region.
Devanagari is a Unicode block containing characters for writing languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Bodo, Maithili, Sindhi, Nepali, and Sanskrit, among others. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0900..U+0954 were a direct copy of the characters A0-F4 from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.
