The Structure of Devanagari Encoding
The global Unicode Consortium reserves the code block range from U+0900 to U+097F for the Devanagari script. Standard Nepali Unicode uses this block to represent consonants, vowels, digits, and punctuation marks. This standard allows Devanagari text to display correctly on any web browser or system worldwide.
Visualizing code points
Unlike legacy Nepali Fonts, which map character shapes to Latin values, Unicode assigns a unique value to every glyph. For example, U+0915 always represents the consonant क. This prevents text from turning into garbled strings when sharing documents across platforms.
