Description

@vizzmay

Many of the glyphs used in IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration) and ISO 15919 (Transliteration of Devanagari and related Indic scripts into Latin characters) are already covered under Latin Extended blocks. Some of them are not.

I am particularly interested in these glyphs:

  • Ṝ = U+1E5C LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON
  • ṝ = U+1E5D LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON
  • Ḹ = U+1E38 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON
  • ḹ = U+1E39 LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON
  • ̥ = U+0325 COMBINING RING BELOW (Used in R̥ r̥ L̥ l̥ R̥̅ r̥̅ L̥̅ l̥̅, which are ISO 15919 characters for vocalic Rs and Ls)
  • Ṁ = U+1E40 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M WITH DOT ABOVE
  • ṁ = U+1E41 LATIN SMALL LETTER M WITH DOT ABOVE
