Saurashtra Character Properties
Source: Rick McGowan on behalf of UTC Date: July 15, 2003 This is to accompany document ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N2549 (L2/03-098) Proposal to encode the Saurashtra script in the UCS by Michael Everson and Jeyakumar Chinnakkonda Krishnamoorty.
The Saurashtra characters have properties similar to Devanagari and the other Indic scripts. Since Saurashtra uses no truly non-spacing marks, all of the combining classes are zero, with the exception of the virama. All of the letters are in the Letter other category, and have strong left-to-right directionality. The vowel signs all follow the consonants with which they are associated, and therefore are combining class zero as well, analogous to the Devanagari model. The virama has the same combining class (9) as other virama characters. The digits likewise are analogous to the Devanagari and other digits, with the same properties, including decimal digit values. The table below shows all of the properties defined in the UnicodeData.txt file.
