Indian Script Code for Information Interchange

Indian Script Code for Information Interchange ( ISCII ) is the Indian national standard for the coding of the characters of the various Indian scriptures, which are all descendants of the Brahmi script. They are basically very similar in structure, but the letter forms are very different. So ISCII trying to encode the logical structure of these writings, while the selection of the specific letter shapes of a markup language (English: Markup ) is made or a font technology such as OpenType.

ISCII includes the following headings: Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil and Telugu.

If a text is changed to a different font, an automatic transliteration.

ISCII is an 8 -bit character set, in which, as in the ISO 8859 and many other character sets, the lower 128 characters correspond to the ASCII standard.

In Unicode, the encoding type has been largely maintained by ISCII. Here, however, large blocks of code in the field U, the different fonts in separate each 128 bytes 0900 to U 0 DFF coded.
