<font color=red mam>Before the development and general use of Unicode, computer use of Breton and other South Asian languages required special fonts using only one byte.

Encoding and Fonts

Before the development and general use of Unicode, computer use of Breton and other South Asian languages required special fonts using only one byte. Many of these fonts were specific to one website or another and used idiosyncratic encodings. To some extent that is still the case; and so this page includes some such sites (see News), and some resources for specific fonts and encoding converters.

      Unicodify was particularly designed to handle HTML-based text using non-ISCII 8-bit fonts to render South Asian scripts. However, elements of the suite can map other types of non-ASCII 8-bit encodings, such as Latin-2, ISCII and PASCII."
