A new proposal to encode Khojki in Unicode

A new proposal to encode Khojki in UnicodeThe latest document from a project to develop a Unicode standard for the Khojki script is available. I am interested in receiving feedback from readers of Khojki and other potential users regarding the script proposal.

The document may be accessed at http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n3883.pdf.

The benefit of an Unicode implementation for Khojki is the ability to represent the script in a standard and native manner in digital media. This will assist users in writing Khojki on computers and may lead to such projects as the creation of electronic ginan databases and searchable Ginan manuscripts.

Khojki is used by the Nizari Ismaili community of South Asia for writing and printing religious literature known as ginān.

One thought

  1. Where can one find examples of Ginans in Khojki, or even words or phrases, in Khojki, which may be incorporated in our Ginans which are more currently in use these days?
