only Udatta (Ux0951) and Anudatta (Ux0952) accents are included. Vedic Accents and Characters: While a number of proposals are currently in the works, the Devanagari tables of the Unicode Standard 4.1 does not provide code points for most Vedic accent marks and other characters.The fonts on this page provide a broader support of complex ligatures than other Devanagari Unicode fonts. Moreover, while it is often acceptable in vernacular typesetting to use 'half-consonant' forms or 'halants' (called 'viramas' in Sanskrit) to create these ligatures, Sanskrit texts have traditionally used more complex representations. Specialized ligatures: Sanskrit texts feature a much larger set of conjunct consonants or 'ligatures' than modern vernaculars.A few issues arise in Sanskrit typography that are not present in other Devanagari-based languages: While all of the fonts found on the Devanagari (Hindi, Marathi, Nepali) page technically support the display of Unicode Sanskrit documents, the SALRC has created this list of fonts and input methods especially recommended for Sanskrit.
