Now, I have reason to Q if, indeed, 10646 folds the scripts of
Devanagari at all.
It "folds" Devanagari's Hindi, Marathi and Sanskrit. Unicode says
that Devanagari is a script, and Hindi, Marathi and Sanskrit are
languages. The various Indian *scripts* are not "folded" (i.e.
Bengali, Gurmukhi, etc).
My recent re-reading of the Unicode specification, (which 10646.1 is
largely derived from
The 2nd DIS of 10646 is called ISO/IEC DIS 10646-1.2. As far as I
know, the "-1" stands for "Part 1", and the ".2" means "2nd DIS".
It may be that 10646.2 diverges from this
Are you talking about 10646 Part 2? As far as I know, there isn't
even a draft for this out yet.
