[INDOLOGY] Typing vedic sanskrit in devanagari and in transliteration

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,

Oliver Hellwig asked about entering transliterated vedic sanskrit with
accents into latex. I can't help with that. But aren't there larger
questions.

1)How do you transliterate vedic sanskrit?
2) How do you type vedic sanskrit in devanagari that isn't from
the Taittirīya tradition?

Its relatively straightforward to type Taittirīya passages in devanagari or
transliteration as its mainly svarita accent (a quote in transliteration)
and anudatta (an underline) and chandrabindu over virama.

But the unicode vedic extensions block has 42 vedic characters  characters

And the unicode devanagari extensions block has (among other characters)
svara digits for Samaveda texts and candrabindu over virama for Taittirīya
texts.
 www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UA8E0.pdf

So are there fonts that have all these characters in devanagari, and would
you be able to transliterate vedic sanskrit with these characters?

Thanks,
Harry Spier
