If you take the text via Microsoft Word (200o or XP) you can save ISCII
encoded text as Unicode and vice versa. Use the 'Save As' Plain Text option
and you will be presented with encoding options.

It is well supported in IE 5.5 and 6.0. Windows Indic script handling
relies on the MS Unicode Script Processor (Uniscribe), which ships with IE.
Readers will need to have a Devanagari OpenType font installed in order to
read the text (unless you use Microsoft's WEFT font embedding technology).
The Hindi UI font Mangal ships with Windows 2000 and XP.

I see this guy named Typography in the shower one morning,
the lightning bolt of epiphany striking as he rubs the suds from
his eyes, 'That's It! I'll redefine myself - she'll have to notice me!'
