“2.1 the recent proposals on is 16350 discussion, the use of zwj or zwnj for alternate shapes was being discouraged. Not sure if this factors here. The standards document recommended use of zwj and zwnj to represent alternate shapes.”

<alolita> zwj or zwnj combinations were provided by c-dac team influencing mobile keyboards is a suggestion not an implementation guideline

<alolita> People want to use complex characters and cannot do so with current implementations. 16350 doesn’t recommend the use of zwj and zwnj because they are not adequate.

<alolita> 2.7.1 Devanagari Numerals Generally Latin Numerals are acceptable in Devanagari text. Most of the user community identifies with them. However, there could be cases where certain web-pages would prefer to have numerals in Devanagari to cater to mono-lingual (mono-script rather) readers. This is particularly required for input types number and date. It would be useful if the input type values are augmented with the script mnemonics e.g. number_deva or date_[CUT]

<alolita> e.g. number_deva or date_deva instead of changing it for entire page through some locale setting. There could be cases where a user may require both kinds of numbering in the same web-page. AI—>Add use cases

<alolita> 2.8 for the languages in context as per the Gap analysis table, the cluster definition can be borrowed from IS13194. However, this also links to the fonts. Thoughts are needed. But if this is done, 2.6 also gets addressed perhaps.

<alolita> 3.5 First letter styling was not usually seen in Indian language publishing. The letter designs especially with those that use shiro Rekha, actually become odd. This is however being borrowed in recent text books from English. And even with single letter clusters, the behaviour is not aesthetic. Not sure this needs addressing. Muthu may suggest.
