Thanks Doug for pointing out.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/racchabanda/message/15522 Here is a related
discussion.
I just couldn't understand the misery in saving two code points by forcing
font developers to use devanagari code points for Telugu script.
The following are problems I am seeing
1. This double danda in Telugu script is used for other purposes, like
abbreviations, pre and post Pallavi of a song, (see page 32 of
http://te.chavakiran.com/blog/?p=774 this pdf. ) ,, || 2|| to say this line
is to be sung twice (page 46 of http://te.chavakiran.com/blog/?p=774 pdf)
2. What are we going to do for sorting?
3. Telugu font developers may not even know they need to insert these in
devangari block.
Is there a link to previous discussion on this unification && dis
unification of danda signs?
Thanks and Regards,
Kiran Kumar Chava
