[INDOLOGY] Extending ISO 15919 (Sharada, Newa etc.)

[Dominik Wujastyk]

Dear Jan, I have a mild investment in a good Newa script, since I've been
reading Newa-script manuscripts a lot recently.  There *are* already Newa
fonts, including Google's own Noto.  I had assumed these already adhered to
a utf8 standard.  Anyhow, the person who has done the most serious work on
this topic is Anshuman Pandey.  See the links here:

Best,
Dominik
