[INDOLOGY] Devanagari specific Jihvamulia and Upadhmaniya

[Jan Kučera]

Dear all,



this is just to note that Unicode received proposal to disunify the U+1CF5 VEDIC SIGN JIHVAMULIYA and U+1CF6 VEDIC SIGN UPADHMANIYA because they behave differently in the Bengali script and the Devanagari script (they form conjuncts in Devanagari). The existing characters were based on the behaviour in the Bengali script, and so two new characters have been provisionally assigned in the Devanagari Extended-A block, U+11B0B DEVANAGARI SIGN JIHVAMULIYA and U+11B0C DEVANAGARI SIGN UPADHMANIYA especially for use in Devanagari.



The proposal for disunification is available here: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2025/25121-jihvamuliya-upadhmaniya.pdf



If you have any comments or concerns, feel free to reach out to me.


Best regards,
