[email protected] November 4, 2015 1 Introduction This is a proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode. Dogra was briefly described in “Proposal to Encode the Takri Script in ISO/IEC 10646” (L2/09-424) as one of several scripts to be unified in the ‘Takri’ block. The block was intended for representing several related scripts of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, Kashmir, and Panjab by means of a generic character repertoire until additional research on individual scripts could be conducted. As described in L2/09-424, the representative glyphs for characters in the ‘Takri’ block are based upon the standard, printed form of the Chamba or Chambeali form of Takri. The Chamba form was selected because materials in the script were readily available. Although Dogra has its own standardized form, it was stated in L2/09-424 that there were insufficient materials available for developing a formal encoding. Dogra was, therefore, grouped with ‘Takri’ on the basis of historical typology and as a matter of practicality. My recent research upon various ‘Takri’ scripts has yielded additional sources and information that that support of the encoding of Dogra as an independent script, 1 especially because of its official status in the former State of Jammu and Kashmir and on account of the differences between it and the standard Chamba script (see tables 2 and 3). A step towards encoding Dogra was taken through the submission of a preliminary proposal (L2/15-213). The present document supersedes L2/15-213 and provides additional information and a number of new sources that support the encoding of Dogra in Unicode. 2 Background The Dogra script is historically associated with the Dogri language (ISO 639-3: doi), but it is not actively used at present. In 1916, George A. Grierson wrote in the Linguistic Survey of India that “Ḍōgrā has an alphabet of its own, which is allied to the Ṭakrī alphabet current in the Punjab Himalayas” (1916: 638). Although it was used mostly for informal communication and commercial activities, Dogra was standardized in the 1860s. Grierson noted that “[s]ome thirty or forty years ago the then Mahārājā of Jammu and Kashmir caused to be invented a modified form of the current Ṭakrī so as to bring it more into line with Dēvanāgarī and Gurmukhī” and “[t]his improved Ḍōgrī is used for official documents, but it has not generally displaced the old Ṭakrī form of script” (ibid). This official form of Dogra is known as ‘Name Dogra Akkhar’ or 1 The Jaunsari or Sirmauri script was also briefly described in L2/09-424 and unified with the Takri block. It is another potential candidate for separate encoding in Unicode. 1

1 Introduction
This is a proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Dogra was briefly described in ldquoProposal to Encodethe Takri Script in ISOIEC 10646rdquo (L209-424) as one of several scripts to be unified in the lsquoTakrirsquo blockThe block was intended for representing several related scripts of Himachal Pradesh Jammu Kashmir andPanjab by means of a generic character repertoire until additional research on individual scripts could beconducted As described in L209-424 the representative glyphs for characters in the lsquoTakrirsquo block arebased upon the standard printed form of the Chamba or Chambeali form of Takri The Chamba form wasselected because materials in the script were readily available Although Dogra has its own standardizedform it was stated in L209-424 that there were insufficient materials available for developing a formalencoding Dogra was therefore grouped with lsquoTakrirsquo on the basis of historical typology and as a matter ofpracticality My recent research upon various lsquoTakrirsquo scripts has yielded additional sources and informationthat that support of the encoding of Dogra as an independent script1 especially because of its official statusin the former State of Jammu and Kashmir and on account of the differences between it and the standardChamba script (see tables 2 and 3) A step towards encoding Dogra was taken through the submission ofa preliminary proposal (L215-213) The present document supersedes L215-213 and provides additionalinformation and a number of new sources that support the encoding of Dogra in Unicode
2 Background
TheDogra script is historically associatedwith theDogri language (ISO 639-3 doi) but it is not actively usedat present In 1916 George A Grierson wrote in the Linguistic Survey of India that ldquoḌōgrā has an alphabetof its own which is allied to the Ṭakrī alphabet current in the Punjab Himalayasrdquo (1916 638) Althoughit was used mostly for informal communication and commercial activities Dogra was standardized in the1860s Grierson noted that ldquo[s]ome thirty or forty years ago the then Mahārājā of Jammu and Kashmircaused to be invented a modified form of the current Ṭakrī so as to bring it more into line with Dēvanāgarīand Gurmukhīrdquo and ldquo[t]his improved Ḍōgrī is used for official documents but it has not generally displacedthe old Ṭakrī form of scriptrdquo (ibid) This official form of Dogra is known as lsquoName Dogra Akkharrsquo or

the lsquoNew Dogra Scriptrsquo It was the official script of the State of Jammu and Kashmir during the reign ofMaharaja Ranbir Singh (r 1857ndash1885) who is the ruler referred to by Grierson The New Dogra script wasused for administrative purposes and upon currency judicial and non-judicial stamp papers postcards andpostage stamps It was also used for literary activities The first book published in the standard Dogra was atranslation of a Sanskrit mathematical treatise by Bhāskarācārya titled Līlavatī The work was commissionedby Ranbir Singh and printed in 1872 at Vidya Vilas Press the first printing press in Jammu
The old and standard forms of Dogra differ primarily in the shapes of letterforms and the representation ofconsonant clusters Specific differences are described throughout this proposal As mentioned by Griersonstandard Dogra was influenced by Devanagari and Gurmukhi The motivation behind such a move is notclear but it could be related to the idea of providing the Dogra script with an air of lsquoauthorityrsquo by giving it aform that resembled scripts which were already endowed with lsquoofficialrsquo and lsquoliteraryrsquo attributes The stan-dardization of Dogra in the 1860s established two distinctive forms of the script Throughout this documentthe common written form is called lsquoOld Dograrsquo and the standard form is referred to as lsquoNew Dograrsquo
The Dogra script is no longer used actively and the Dogri language is now generally written in DevanagariNonetheless the script continues to attract the interest of philatelists who collect ephemera from Jammu andKashmir Although there is very little scholarship on the script it was described briefly by the prominentSanskrit scholar Fritz Staal in his Stamps of Jammu amp Kashmir (New York The Collectors Club 1984)Information on Dogra is also curated on a philately website called ldquoCollecting Kashmirrdquo maintained byCarol von der Lin
3 Proposed Encoding
31 Approach
The justification for encoding Dogra as a separate script in Unicode is based upon the following criteria 1)graphical differences between Dogra Chamba and other forms of Takri 2) usage of the script in an officialcapacity 3) cultural and political recognition of it as a distinctive script 4) differentiation into lsquooldrsquo andstandardrsquo forms Of these the fourth point requires a means for handling the internal distinctions of thescript A separate block for Dogra would provide a means to maintain the scriptrsquos external identity fromother related scripts and to also maintain the identity of styles internally
32 Structure
The Dogra script is a Brahmi-based alphasyllabary that is written from left to right Independent and initialvowels are written using letters while dependent vowels are expressed using combining signs Consonantletters possess the inherent vowel a which is changed by the attachment of a vowel sign Consonant clustersare written in various ways such as with visible halanta as an atomic ligature and with half-forms rephais attested but rarely used There are no formal conventions regarding representation of conjuncts
33 Script name
The designation lsquoDograrsquo has been assigned to the script block in Unicode The script is referred to as bothlsquoDograrsquo and lsquoDogrirsquo in English secondary sources The name lsquoDograrsquo is preferred over lsquoDogrirsquo because itlinks the script with the Dogra dynasty of Jammu andKashmir under whose government it was established asthe official script Secondly lsquoDogrirsquo suggests a connection with the language of the same name however thelanguage is no longer written in the script The script was officially referred to as dvigarta akṣara or ldquoDogra

lettersrdquo where lsquoDvigartarsquo is presented as the Sanskritic root of the name lsquoDograrsquo Another indigenous namefor the script is name dogra akkhar or ldquoNew Dogra lettersrdquo
34 Representative glyphs
The representative glyphs for Dogra characters are based primarily upon forms used in New Dogra Charac-ters from Old Dogra have been used when necessary sourced primarily from figures 1 and 2 The font hasbeen designed by the proposal author
35 Vowel letters
There are 10 vowel letters
71680
71681
71682
71683
71684
71685
71686
71687
71688
71689
In Old Dogra the values of the vowel letters 71683 71682 and are variable As shown in the accompanyingsources the letter 71683 was used for both i and ī 71682 for u and ū and for u ū o and au In New Dograthe values of these three letters became fixed and new letters were introduced in order to provide distinctiverepresentations for all basic vowels It is apparent that the attempt to stabilize the vowel repertoire resultedin overlap and reassignment of several letters The Old Dogra 71683 (i ī) was retained solely for ī and 71682 (u ū)was reassigned for i A modified form of (u o) came to represent u while the form71685 was introduced forū which is certainly an adaptation of the letter ū from Devanagari or Sharada Distinct letters for71688 o and71689au were provided by placing the corresponding dependent vowel signs upon the modified u

The proposed vowels letters are based upon the repertoire of New Dogra This approach completely accom-modates vowels in the old and new forms of the script Although the names of New Dogra vowel letters do

not strictly correlate with values of Old Dogra vowels the proposed letters can be used for representing theold script The 71682 can be used for u 71683 can be used for i and 71684
can be used for o and au the height and curvature of the left stroke may be considered a stylisticattribute
36 Vowel Signs
There are 10 dependent vowel signs
71724

71728
71729
71730
71731

71733
The 71729 appears to have been introduced as part of New Dogra It is usedfor representing words of Sanskrit origin that contain the vocalic sound r Its shape is derived from either+11190 or +0943 There is
no corresponding independent vowel letter
There is an alphabetic aspect to the representation of consonant-vowel syllables in written Dogra The de-pendent vowel may be represented using the independent vowel letter as well as the vowel sign eg 7169071686may be used in place of 7169071730 for the syllable ke
There are differences in the shape of certain vowel letters between the old and new script The typical Takriforms of the vowel signs -u and -u which also resemble corresponding forms in Gurmukhi were replacedwith forms resembling Devanagari signs 71727 and 71728 respectively The typical Takri style of the vowel sign o was applied for writing 71733 au while a simplified of o in the form 71732 was used for o The duplication of o as for writing au was eliminated A comparison of vowel letters in the old and new scripts as they alignwith the proposed characters is as follows

There is evidence of usage of different forms of the same letter in the available sources For instance both71696 and are both used for
38 Anusvara
The 71734 is used for marking nasalization
39 Visarga
The 71735 is used for indicating post-vocalic aspiration in words of Sanskrit origin It isshown below in the word 717097171471735 namaḥ ldquohomage tordquo
310 Nukta
The 71737 is used for representing sounds that are not native to Dogri and related languages
311 Virama
The 71736 has two functions similar to the corresponding character of Devanagari It isused as a halanta for marking the absence of the inherent vowel of a consonant letter It is also a controlcharacter that is used for producing conjuncts
312 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are rendered in three ways 1) with visible halanta beneath the full form of each bareconsonant 2) with a half-form of the initial consonant followed by the full form of the following letter and3) as ligatures There are no formal conventions for the written expression of conjuncts The 71736
is used for the encoded representation of conjuncts
3121 Types of conjuncts
Some representations of Dogra conjuncts as found in the available sources are illustrated below
bull Visible halanta In both Old and New Dogra the most common method of representing consonantclusters is by placing a halanta beneath each bare consonant
6
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
bull Half-forms Another method is to use half-forms of letters if the graphical structure provides such anopportunity
The above shows the conjunct 71716 śra in the word 7171671726 śrī (a Sanskrit honorific) The half form isproduced by dropping the right vertical bar of 71719 The conjunct 71716 is used consistently in NewDogra for representing the cluster śra the form 717197173671716 with visible halanta beneath a full form of 71719does not occur in the available sources
bull Ligatures There are two types of ligature In the first the shapes of individual letters are visible Inthe below the boxed text contains the conjunct sṭa from the word717347172471710 sṭāṃp a transcription of theEnglish ldquostamprdquo
The second type is an atomic (akhaṇḍa) ligature whose form may be considered a distinctive letterSuch a ligature occurs in the excerpt below
The boxed text above contains the atomic ligature kṣa which occurs in the word7168071716 akṣaroṃ ldquoinlettersrdquo (oblique form of7168071716 akṣara ldquoletterrdquo) The conjunct kṣa is used consistently in New Dografor representing the cluster ksa Its shape may be influenced by Devanangari kṣa
bull Forms of Special conjunct forms of 71716 do not generally occur eg repha or vattu Cluster-initialis represented as a full form with halanta as in rṇa in the word saṃpūrṇa below
and non-initial is treated similarly as in pra in the word prabhu below
7
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
sṭa lt71721 71736 71700 gt
Examples of conjuncts rendered using half-forms are
śra 71716 lt71719 71736 71716 gt
Conjuncts displayed using visible halanta are
pra 717107173671716 lt71710 71736 71716 gt
rṇa 717167173671704 lt71716 71736 71704 gt
8
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used
9
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
the lsquoNew Dogra Scriptrsquo It was the official script of the State of Jammu and Kashmir during the reign ofMaharaja Ranbir Singh (r 1857ndash1885) who is the ruler referred to by Grierson The New Dogra script wasused for administrative purposes and upon currency judicial and non-judicial stamp papers postcards andpostage stamps It was also used for literary activities The first book published in the standard Dogra was atranslation of a Sanskrit mathematical treatise by Bhāskarācārya titled Līlavatī The work was commissionedby Ranbir Singh and printed in 1872 at Vidya Vilas Press the first printing press in Jammu
The old and standard forms of Dogra differ primarily in the shapes of letterforms and the representation ofconsonant clusters Specific differences are described throughout this proposal As mentioned by Griersonstandard Dogra was influenced by Devanagari and Gurmukhi The motivation behind such a move is notclear but it could be related to the idea of providing the Dogra script with an air of lsquoauthorityrsquo by giving it aform that resembled scripts which were already endowed with lsquoofficialrsquo and lsquoliteraryrsquo attributes The stan-dardization of Dogra in the 1860s established two distinctive forms of the script Throughout this documentthe common written form is called lsquoOld Dograrsquo and the standard form is referred to as lsquoNew Dograrsquo
The Dogra script is no longer used actively and the Dogri language is now generally written in DevanagariNonetheless the script continues to attract the interest of philatelists who collect ephemera from Jammu andKashmir Although there is very little scholarship on the script it was described briefly by the prominentSanskrit scholar Fritz Staal in his Stamps of Jammu amp Kashmir (New York The Collectors Club 1984)Information on Dogra is also curated on a philately website called ldquoCollecting Kashmirrdquo maintained byCarol von der Lin
3 Proposed Encoding
31 Approach
The justification for encoding Dogra as a separate script in Unicode is based upon the following criteria 1)graphical differences between Dogra Chamba and other forms of Takri 2) usage of the script in an officialcapacity 3) cultural and political recognition of it as a distinctive script 4) differentiation into lsquooldrsquo andstandardrsquo forms Of these the fourth point requires a means for handling the internal distinctions of thescript A separate block for Dogra would provide a means to maintain the scriptrsquos external identity fromother related scripts and to also maintain the identity of styles internally
32 Structure
The Dogra script is a Brahmi-based alphasyllabary that is written from left to right Independent and initialvowels are written using letters while dependent vowels are expressed using combining signs Consonantletters possess the inherent vowel a which is changed by the attachment of a vowel sign Consonant clustersare written in various ways such as with visible halanta as an atomic ligature and with half-forms rephais attested but rarely used There are no formal conventions regarding representation of conjuncts
33 Script name
The designation lsquoDograrsquo has been assigned to the script block in Unicode The script is referred to as bothlsquoDograrsquo and lsquoDogrirsquo in English secondary sources The name lsquoDograrsquo is preferred over lsquoDogrirsquo because itlinks the script with the Dogra dynasty of Jammu andKashmir under whose government it was established asthe official script Secondly lsquoDogrirsquo suggests a connection with the language of the same name however thelanguage is no longer written in the script The script was officially referred to as dvigarta akṣara or ldquoDogra

lettersrdquo where lsquoDvigartarsquo is presented as the Sanskritic root of the name lsquoDograrsquo Another indigenous namefor the script is name dogra akkhar or ldquoNew Dogra lettersrdquo
34 Representative glyphs
The representative glyphs for Dogra characters are based primarily upon forms used in New Dogra Charac-ters from Old Dogra have been used when necessary sourced primarily from figures 1 and 2 The font hasbeen designed by the proposal author
35 Vowel letters
There are 10 vowel letters

In Old Dogra the values of the vowel letters 71683 71682 and are variable As shown in the accompanyingsources the letter 71683 was used for both i and ī 71682 for u and ū and for u ū o and au In New Dograthe values of these three letters became fixed and new letters were introduced in order to provide distinctiverepresentations for all basic vowels It is apparent that the attempt to stabilize the vowel repertoire resultedin overlap and reassignment of several letters The Old Dogra 71683 (i ī) was retained solely for ī and 71682 (u ū)was reassigned for i A modified form of (u o) came to represent u while the form71685 was introduced forū which is certainly an adaptation of the letter ū from Devanagari or Sharada Distinct letters for71688 o and71689au were provided by placing the corresponding dependent vowel signs upon the modified u

The proposed vowels letters are based upon the repertoire of New Dogra This approach completely accom-modates vowels in the old and new forms of the script Although the names of New Dogra vowel letters do

not strictly correlate with values of Old Dogra vowels the proposed letters can be used for representing theold script The 71682 can be used for u 71683 can be used for i and 71684

The 71729 appears to have been introduced as part of New Dogra It is usedfor representing words of Sanskrit origin that contain the vocalic sound r Its shape is derived from either+11190 or +0943 There is
no corresponding independent vowel letter
There is an alphabetic aspect to the representation of consonant-vowel syllables in written Dogra The de-pendent vowel may be represented using the independent vowel letter as well as the vowel sign eg 7169071686may be used in place of 7169071730 for the syllable ke
There are differences in the shape of certain vowel letters between the old and new script The typical Takriforms of the vowel signs -u and -u which also resemble corresponding forms in Gurmukhi were replacedwith forms resembling Devanagari signs 71727 and 71728 respectively The typical Takri style of the vowel sign o was applied for writing 71733 au while a simplified of o in the form 71732 was used for o The duplication of o as for writing au was eliminated A comparison of vowel letters in the old and new scripts as they alignwith the proposed characters is as follows

There is evidence of usage of different forms of the same letter in the available sources For instance both71696 and are both used for
38 Anusvara
The 71734 is used for marking nasalization
39 Visarga
The 71735 is used for indicating post-vocalic aspiration in words of Sanskrit origin It isshown below in the word 717097171471735 namaḥ ldquohomage tordquo
310 Nukta
The 71737 is used for representing sounds that are not native to Dogri and related languages
311 Virama
The 71736 has two functions similar to the corresponding character of Devanagari It isused as a halanta for marking the absence of the inherent vowel of a consonant letter It is also a controlcharacter that is used for producing conjuncts
312 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are rendered in three ways 1) with visible halanta beneath the full form of each bareconsonant 2) with a half-form of the initial consonant followed by the full form of the following letter and3) as ligatures There are no formal conventions for the written expression of conjuncts The 71736
is used for the encoded representation of conjuncts
3121 Types of conjuncts
Some representations of Dogra conjuncts as found in the available sources are illustrated below
bull Visible halanta In both Old and New Dogra the most common method of representing consonantclusters is by placing a halanta beneath each bare consonant
6
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
bull Half-forms Another method is to use half-forms of letters if the graphical structure provides such anopportunity
The above shows the conjunct 71716 śra in the word 7171671726 śrī (a Sanskrit honorific) The half form isproduced by dropping the right vertical bar of 71719 The conjunct 71716 is used consistently in NewDogra for representing the cluster śra the form 717197173671716 with visible halanta beneath a full form of 71719does not occur in the available sources
bull Ligatures There are two types of ligature In the first the shapes of individual letters are visible Inthe below the boxed text contains the conjunct sṭa from the word717347172471710 sṭāṃp a transcription of theEnglish ldquostamprdquo
The second type is an atomic (akhaṇḍa) ligature whose form may be considered a distinctive letterSuch a ligature occurs in the excerpt below
The boxed text above contains the atomic ligature kṣa which occurs in the word7168071716 akṣaroṃ ldquoinlettersrdquo (oblique form of7168071716 akṣara ldquoletterrdquo) The conjunct kṣa is used consistently in New Dografor representing the cluster ksa Its shape may be influenced by Devanangari kṣa
bull Forms of Special conjunct forms of 71716 do not generally occur eg repha or vattu Cluster-initialis represented as a full form with halanta as in rṇa in the word saṃpūrṇa below
and non-initial is treated similarly as in pra in the word prabhu below
7
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
sṭa lt71721 71736 71700 gt
Examples of conjuncts rendered using half-forms are
śra 71716 lt71719 71736 71716 gt
Conjuncts displayed using visible halanta are
pra 717107173671716 lt71710 71736 71716 gt
rṇa 717167173671704 lt71716 71736 71704 gt
8

3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used
9

A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

In Old Dogra the values of the vowel letters 71683 71682 and are variable As shown in the accompanyingsources the letter 71683 was used for both i and ī 71682 for u and ū and for u ū o and au In New Dograthe values of these three letters became fixed and new letters were introduced in order to provide distinctiverepresentations for all basic vowels It is apparent that the attempt to stabilize the vowel repertoire resultedin overlap and reassignment of several letters The Old Dogra 71683 (i ī) was retained solely for ī and 71682 (u ū)was reassigned for i A modified form of (u o) came to represent u while the form71685 was introduced forū which is certainly an adaptation of the letter ū from Devanagari or Sharada Distinct letters for71688 o and71689au were provided by placing the corresponding dependent vowel signs upon the modified u

The 71729 appears to have been introduced as part of New Dogra It is usedfor representing words of Sanskrit origin that contain the vocalic sound r Its shape is derived from either+11190 or +0943 There is
no corresponding independent vowel letter
There is an alphabetic aspect to the representation of consonant-vowel syllables in written Dogra The de-pendent vowel may be represented using the independent vowel letter as well as the vowel sign eg 7169071686may be used in place of 7169071730 for the syllable ke
There are differences in the shape of certain vowel letters between the old and new script The typical Takriforms of the vowel signs -u and -u which also resemble corresponding forms in Gurmukhi were replacedwith forms resembling Devanagari signs 71727 and 71728 respectively The typical Takri style of the vowel sign o was applied for writing 71733 au while a simplified of o in the form 71732 was used for o The duplication of o as for writing au was eliminated A comparison of vowel letters in the old and new scripts as they alignwith the proposed characters is as follows

There is evidence of usage of different forms of the same letter in the available sources For instance both71696 and are both used for
38 Anusvara
The 71734 is used for marking nasalization
39 Visarga
The 71735 is used for indicating post-vocalic aspiration in words of Sanskrit origin It isshown below in the word 717097171471735 namaḥ ldquohomage tordquo
310 Nukta
The 71737 is used for representing sounds that are not native to Dogri and related languages
311 Virama
The 71736 has two functions similar to the corresponding character of Devanagari It isused as a halanta for marking the absence of the inherent vowel of a consonant letter It is also a controlcharacter that is used for producing conjuncts
312 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are rendered in three ways 1) with visible halanta beneath the full form of each bareconsonant 2) with a half-form of the initial consonant followed by the full form of the following letter and3) as ligatures There are no formal conventions for the written expression of conjuncts The 71736
is used for the encoded representation of conjuncts
3121 Types of conjuncts
Some representations of Dogra conjuncts as found in the available sources are illustrated below
bull Visible halanta In both Old and New Dogra the most common method of representing consonantclusters is by placing a halanta beneath each bare consonant
6
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
bull Half-forms Another method is to use half-forms of letters if the graphical structure provides such anopportunity
The above shows the conjunct 71716 śra in the word 7171671726 śrī (a Sanskrit honorific) The half form isproduced by dropping the right vertical bar of 71719 The conjunct 71716 is used consistently in NewDogra for representing the cluster śra the form 717197173671716 with visible halanta beneath a full form of 71719does not occur in the available sources
bull Ligatures There are two types of ligature In the first the shapes of individual letters are visible Inthe below the boxed text contains the conjunct sṭa from the word717347172471710 sṭāṃp a transcription of theEnglish ldquostamprdquo
The second type is an atomic (akhaṇḍa) ligature whose form may be considered a distinctive letterSuch a ligature occurs in the excerpt below
The boxed text above contains the atomic ligature kṣa which occurs in the word7168071716 akṣaroṃ ldquoinlettersrdquo (oblique form of7168071716 akṣara ldquoletterrdquo) The conjunct kṣa is used consistently in New Dografor representing the cluster ksa Its shape may be influenced by Devanangari kṣa
bull Forms of Special conjunct forms of 71716 do not generally occur eg repha or vattu Cluster-initialis represented as a full form with halanta as in rṇa in the word saṃpūrṇa below
and non-initial is treated similarly as in pra in the word prabhu below
7
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
sṭa lt71721 71736 71700 gt
Examples of conjuncts rendered using half-forms are
śra 71716 lt71719 71736 71716 gt
Conjuncts displayed using visible halanta are
pra 717107173671716 lt71710 71736 71716 gt
rṇa 717167173671704 lt71716 71736 71704 gt
8
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used
9
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

The 71729 appears to have been introduced as part of New Dogra It is usedfor representing words of Sanskrit origin that contain the vocalic sound r Its shape is derived from either+11190 or +0943 There is
no corresponding independent vowel letter
There is an alphabetic aspect to the representation of consonant-vowel syllables in written Dogra The de-pendent vowel may be represented using the independent vowel letter as well as the vowel sign eg 7169071686may be used in place of 7169071730 for the syllable ke
There are differences in the shape of certain vowel letters between the old and new script The typical Takriforms of the vowel signs -u and -u which also resemble corresponding forms in Gurmukhi were replacedwith forms resembling Devanagari signs 71727 and 71728 respectively The typical Takri style of the vowel sign o was applied for writing 71733 au while a simplified of o in the form 71732 was used for o The duplication of o as for writing au was eliminated A comparison of vowel letters in the old and new scripts as they alignwith the proposed characters is as follows

There is evidence of usage of different forms of the same letter in the available sources For instance both71696 and are both used for
38 Anusvara
The 71734 is used for marking nasalization
39 Visarga
The 71735 is used for indicating post-vocalic aspiration in words of Sanskrit origin It isshown below in the word 717097171471735 namaḥ ldquohomage tordquo
310 Nukta
The 71737 is used for representing sounds that are not native to Dogri and related languages
311 Virama
The 71736 has two functions similar to the corresponding character of Devanagari It isused as a halanta for marking the absence of the inherent vowel of a consonant letter It is also a controlcharacter that is used for producing conjuncts
312 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are rendered in three ways 1) with visible halanta beneath the full form of each bareconsonant 2) with a half-form of the initial consonant followed by the full form of the following letter and3) as ligatures There are no formal conventions for the written expression of conjuncts The 71736
is used for the encoded representation of conjuncts
3121 Types of conjuncts
Some representations of Dogra conjuncts as found in the available sources are illustrated below
bull Visible halanta In both Old and New Dogra the most common method of representing consonantclusters is by placing a halanta beneath each bare consonant
6
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
bull Half-forms Another method is to use half-forms of letters if the graphical structure provides such anopportunity
The above shows the conjunct 71716 śra in the word 7171671726 śrī (a Sanskrit honorific) The half form isproduced by dropping the right vertical bar of 71719 The conjunct 71716 is used consistently in NewDogra for representing the cluster śra the form 717197173671716 with visible halanta beneath a full form of 71719does not occur in the available sources
bull Ligatures There are two types of ligature In the first the shapes of individual letters are visible Inthe below the boxed text contains the conjunct sṭa from the word717347172471710 sṭāṃp a transcription of theEnglish ldquostamprdquo
The second type is an atomic (akhaṇḍa) ligature whose form may be considered a distinctive letterSuch a ligature occurs in the excerpt below
The boxed text above contains the atomic ligature kṣa which occurs in the word7168071716 akṣaroṃ ldquoinlettersrdquo (oblique form of7168071716 akṣara ldquoletterrdquo) The conjunct kṣa is used consistently in New Dografor representing the cluster ksa Its shape may be influenced by Devanangari kṣa
bull Forms of Special conjunct forms of 71716 do not generally occur eg repha or vattu Cluster-initialis represented as a full form with halanta as in rṇa in the word saṃpūrṇa below
and non-initial is treated similarly as in pra in the word prabhu below
7
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
sṭa lt71721 71736 71700 gt
Examples of conjuncts rendered using half-forms are
śra 71716 lt71719 71736 71716 gt
Conjuncts displayed using visible halanta are
pra 717107173671716 lt71710 71736 71716 gt
rṇa 717167173671704 lt71716 71736 71704 gt
8

3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used
9

A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

71716
There is evidence of usage of different forms of the same letter in the available sources For instance both71696 and are both used for
38 Anusvara
The 71734 is used for marking nasalization
39 Visarga
The 71735 is used for indicating post-vocalic aspiration in words of Sanskrit origin It isshown below in the word 717097171471735 namaḥ ldquohomage tordquo
310 Nukta
The 71737 is used for representing sounds that are not native to Dogri and related languages
311 Virama
The 71736 has two functions similar to the corresponding character of Devanagari It isused as a halanta for marking the absence of the inherent vowel of a consonant letter It is also a controlcharacter that is used for producing conjuncts
312 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are rendered in three ways 1) with visible halanta beneath the full form of each bareconsonant 2) with a half-form of the initial consonant followed by the full form of the following letter and3) as ligatures There are no formal conventions for the written expression of conjuncts The 71736
is used for the encoded representation of conjuncts
3121 Types of conjuncts
Some representations of Dogra conjuncts as found in the available sources are illustrated below
bull Visible halanta In both Old and New Dogra the most common method of representing consonantclusters is by placing a halanta beneath each bare consonant
6
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
bull Half-forms Another method is to use half-forms of letters if the graphical structure provides such anopportunity
The above shows the conjunct 71716 śra in the word 7171671726 śrī (a Sanskrit honorific) The half form isproduced by dropping the right vertical bar of 71719 The conjunct 71716 is used consistently in NewDogra for representing the cluster śra the form 717197173671716 with visible halanta beneath a full form of 71719does not occur in the available sources
bull Ligatures There are two types of ligature In the first the shapes of individual letters are visible Inthe below the boxed text contains the conjunct sṭa from the word717347172471710 sṭāṃp a transcription of theEnglish ldquostamprdquo
The second type is an atomic (akhaṇḍa) ligature whose form may be considered a distinctive letterSuch a ligature occurs in the excerpt below
The boxed text above contains the atomic ligature kṣa which occurs in the word7168071716 akṣaroṃ ldquoinlettersrdquo (oblique form of7168071716 akṣara ldquoletterrdquo) The conjunct kṣa is used consistently in New Dografor representing the cluster ksa Its shape may be influenced by Devanangari kṣa
bull Forms of Special conjunct forms of 71716 do not generally occur eg repha or vattu Cluster-initialis represented as a full form with halanta as in rṇa in the word saṃpūrṇa below
and non-initial is treated similarly as in pra in the word prabhu below
7
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
sṭa lt71721 71736 71700 gt
Examples of conjuncts rendered using half-forms are
śra 71716 lt71719 71736 71716 gt
Conjuncts displayed using visible halanta are
pra 717107173671716 lt71710 71736 71716 gt
rṇa 717167173671704 lt71716 71736 71704 gt
8
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used
9
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

71708
71716
There is evidence of usage of different forms of the same letter in the available sources For instance both71696 and are both used for
38 Anusvara
The 71734 is used for marking nasalization
39 Visarga
The 71735 is used for indicating post-vocalic aspiration in words of Sanskrit origin It isshown below in the word 717097171471735 namaḥ ldquohomage tordquo
310 Nukta
The 71737 is used for representing sounds that are not native to Dogri and related languages
311 Virama
The 71736 has two functions similar to the corresponding character of Devanagari It isused as a halanta for marking the absence of the inherent vowel of a consonant letter It is also a controlcharacter that is used for producing conjuncts
312 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are rendered in three ways 1) with visible halanta beneath the full form of each bareconsonant 2) with a half-form of the initial consonant followed by the full form of the following letter and3) as ligatures There are no formal conventions for the written expression of conjuncts The 71736
is used for the encoded representation of conjuncts
3121 Types of conjuncts
Some representations of Dogra conjuncts as found in the available sources are illustrated below
bull Visible halanta In both Old and New Dogra the most common method of representing consonantclusters is by placing a halanta beneath each bare consonant
6
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
bull Half-forms Another method is to use half-forms of letters if the graphical structure provides such anopportunity
The above shows the conjunct 71716 śra in the word 7171671726 śrī (a Sanskrit honorific) The half form isproduced by dropping the right vertical bar of 71719 The conjunct 71716 is used consistently in NewDogra for representing the cluster śra the form 717197173671716 with visible halanta beneath a full form of 71719does not occur in the available sources
bull Ligatures There are two types of ligature In the first the shapes of individual letters are visible Inthe below the boxed text contains the conjunct sṭa from the word717347172471710 sṭāṃp a transcription of theEnglish ldquostamprdquo
The second type is an atomic (akhaṇḍa) ligature whose form may be considered a distinctive letterSuch a ligature occurs in the excerpt below
The boxed text above contains the atomic ligature kṣa which occurs in the word7168071716 akṣaroṃ ldquoinlettersrdquo (oblique form of7168071716 akṣara ldquoletterrdquo) The conjunct kṣa is used consistently in New Dografor representing the cluster ksa Its shape may be influenced by Devanangari kṣa
bull Forms of Special conjunct forms of 71716 do not generally occur eg repha or vattu Cluster-initialis represented as a full form with halanta as in rṇa in the word saṃpūrṇa below
and non-initial is treated similarly as in pra in the word prabhu below
7
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are

3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used

A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

bull Half-forms Another method is to use half-forms of letters if the graphical structure provides such anopportunity
The above shows the conjunct 71716 śra in the word 7171671726 śrī (a Sanskrit honorific) The half form isproduced by dropping the right vertical bar of 71719 The conjunct 71716 is used consistently in NewDogra for representing the cluster śra the form 717197173671716 with visible halanta beneath a full form of 71719does not occur in the available sources
bull Ligatures There are two types of ligature In the first the shapes of individual letters are visible Inthe below the boxed text contains the conjunct sṭa from the word717347172471710 sṭāṃp a transcription of theEnglish ldquostamprdquo
The second type is an atomic (akhaṇḍa) ligature whose form may be considered a distinctive letterSuch a ligature occurs in the excerpt below
The boxed text above contains the atomic ligature kṣa which occurs in the word7168071716 akṣaroṃ ldquoinlettersrdquo (oblique form of7168071716 akṣara ldquoletterrdquo) The conjunct kṣa is used consistently in New Dografor representing the cluster ksa Its shape may be influenced by Devanangari kṣa
bull Forms of Special conjunct forms of 71716 do not generally occur eg repha or vattu Cluster-initialis represented as a full form with halanta as in rṇa in the word saṃpūrṇa below
and non-initial is treated similarly as in pra in the word prabhu below
7
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
sṭa lt71721 71736 71700 gt
Examples of conjuncts rendered using half-forms are
śra 71716 lt71719 71736 71716 gt
Conjuncts displayed using visible halanta are
pra 717107173671716 lt71710 71736 71716 gt
rṇa 717167173671704 lt71716 71736 71704 gt
8

3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used
9
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
However there is one instance in the available sources in which cluster-initial is represented asa repha The occurrence is curious because the word caturbhuja ldquosquarerdquo in which repha occursappears three times in proximity but is spelled differently in all three instances
In the boxed text at the top the in caturbhuja is written with halanta 7169571705717277171671736717137172771697 caturbhuja In thetext at bottom left occurs with its inherent vowel intact without halanta 71695717057172771716717137172771697 caturabhuja Atbottom right ra is represented as repha 716957170571727717137172771697 caturbhuja
The usage of repha in Dogra is to be considered anomalous There is no present need to support thisform of in encoded representation
3122 Encoded representation of conjuncts
The Devanagari model for the representation of conjuncts is appropriate for Dogra In encoded text con-juncts are produced by placing the control character 71736 after each non-initial consonantin a cluster ie lt(C 71736 ) Cgt
Representations of conjuncts rendered as atomic ligatures are
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
sṭa lt71721 71736 71700 gt
Examples of conjuncts rendered using half-forms are
śra 71716 lt71719 71736 71716 gt
Conjuncts displayed using visible halanta are
pra 717107173671716 lt71710 71736 71716 gt
rṇa 717167173671704 lt71716 71736 71704 gt
8
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used

A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

3123 Modifying conjunct formation
As is the case in Devanagari and other Indic scripts a ligature may be broken using the generic controlcharacter +200C -
kṣa lt71690 71736 71720 gt
kṣa 716907173671720 lt71690 71736 - 71720 gt
The rendering of a conjunct as a ligature or with visible is a matter of font design
313 Punctuation
Abbreviation sign The 71738 is used for indicating truncation of text In the excerptbelow the highlighted text717177172671738 7171871738 717137172471738 (lī va bhā 23) is is an abbreviation for līla vatī bhāga 23
Danda-s The daṇḍā and double daṇḍā are commonly used in Dogra documents for marking the ends ofsentences and paragraphs The below excerpt shows usage of the daṇḍā
and the following shows use of the double daṇḍā
These daṇḍā-s are not proposed for encoding as separate characters in the lsquoDograrsquo block They resemble +0964 and +0965 and may be represented using
these characters The Devanagari daṇḍā-s are to be specified as extensions for Dogra
Other signs Other marks of punctuation such as dashes are also used
9
Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens

Proposal to encode the Dogra script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey
A hyphen is used in some cases for indicating breaks in a word at end of line (see section 316)
314 Digits
Digits are commonly used in Dogra documents (see figure 11) The style of digits varies across written andprinted sources Some digits in Old Dogra sources resemble those of Takri (see figure 4) while those innew Dogra sources are similar to Devanagar The excerpt below shows digits 1ndash9 and the number 10 asrepresented in the Līlavatī written in New Dogra
The majority of the digits shown here resemble Devanagari forms however the exception is lsquofourrsquo Theform of Dogra lsquofourrsquo does not resemble 71364 +116C4 which is nearly identical to theDevanagari digit four Information about its origins are not known at this time but it may be related to 70100+111D4 The forms of lsquoeightrsquo and lsquoninersquo are well-known variant forms of the regular
Devanagari digits
Additional research into Dogra digits is required before they may be considered for encoding The availablesources suggest that there may have been a cultural understanding that Dogra possessed unique digits Forinstance on the bank notes shown in figure 20 the digits written in Devanagari are rather similar but arenonetheless displayed twice in order to align the display of the currency value with each script used for theinscriptions
At present script-specific digits are not proposed for inclusion in the Dogra repertoire Devanagari digitsshould be used normatively and should be extended for usage with Dogra If future research yields distinctivedigits for Dogra there is sufficient space in the block to acccommodate their encoding
315 Number forms
Fraction signs and currency marks are commonly used in Dogra sources (see figure 12) These may berepresented using the fraction and currency signs already encoded in the lsquoCommon Indic Number Formsrsquoblock (U+A830) These characters are specified as extensions for Dogra The lsquoCommon Indic NumberFormsrsquo are described briefly in The Unicode Standard (chapter 223 lsquoNumeralsrsquo pp 770ndash771) and in moredetail in the original encoding proposal (L207-354)
316 Linebreaking
Linebreaking occurs after an orthographic syllable Breaks are generally not indicated in informal sourcesbut are marked in literary materials using hyphens
