Template:Indic glyph/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{Indic glyph}} is used to add a tree of related characters from various Indic scripts to articles on pan-Indic letters.

Parameters

[edit]

This template takes one of two parameters to display a character. The parameters are the ISO 15924 four letter code for the script (or an alternate prefix for scripts not in that standard), followed by "cp" to specify the plain text codepoint, or "img" to specify the filename of the image of the character. If both are specified, the image will be displayed in preference to a text character. In addition, the ISO 15924 code + "2cp" or "2img" will show an additional character for that script.

The Brahmi script has parameters for specifying image files in three major stylistic periods - Ashoka, Kushana, and Gupta Brahmi - which all share the same codepoint. Finally, there is one parameter for specifying the ISCII code point of a character for the 9 scripts inherited into Unicode from that standard (Unicode unified Bengali and Assamese from ISCII).

Notes
  1. ^ The middle "Kushana" form of Brahmi is a later style that emerged as Brahmi scripts were beginning to proliferate. Gupta Brahmi was definitely a stylistic descendant from Kushana, but other Brahmi-derived scripts may have descended from earlier forms.
  2. ^ Tocharian is probably derived from the middle period "Kushana" form of Brahmi, although artifacts from that time are not plentiful enough to establish a definite succession.
  3. ^ Pyu and Old Mon are probably the precursors of the Burmese script, and may be derived from either the Pallava or Kadamba script
  4. ^ May also be derived from Devangari (see bottom left of table)
  5. ^ The Origin of Hangul from 'Phags-pa is one of limited influence, inspiring at most a few basic letter shapes. Hangul does not function as an Indic abugida.
  6. ^ Although the basic letter forms of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were derived from handwritten Devanagari letters, this abugida indicates vowel sounds by rotations of the letter form, rather than the use of vowel diacritics as is standard in Indic abugidas.
  7. ^ May also be derived from Ranjana (see above)
  8. ^ Masaram Gondi acts as an Indic abugida, but its letterforms were not derived from any single precursor script.
