    The page already has the "corrected" appearance when I view it on IE6 / XP, but the incorrect appearance on IE5.5 / NT4. I am guessing that his Windows is not using Uniscribe for complex text rendering, either because it is an older version like NT4, or because complex script support or langauge packs using it are not checked in Regional Settings.

    The Unicode office has received this email claiming that our page "What is Unicode in Hindi" is incorrect. Can anyone verify this.

    Thank you
