Perso-Arabic Script Code for Information Interchange

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perso-Arabic Script Code for Information Interchange (PASCII) is the Indian government standard for encoding languages using writing systems based on that of Arabic, in particular Kashmiri, Persian, Sindhi, and Urdu. The ISCII encoding was originally intended to cover both the Brahmi-derived writing systems of India and the Arabic-based systems, but this approach was subsequently abandoned.
