With the globally compatible for any data processing and encoding system the Unicode Standard has become computing industry standard is Using Unicode minimized the conflicts and data corruption caused by the incompatible coding system faced earlier.
Unicode provides a unique number for every character used in the computer, No matter what the platform, No matter what the program, No matter what the language.
In addition to this, data processing functions like “Sorting”, “Find and Replace”, “Spell checking” were also not possible with such documents.It was only after the release of the Nepali Unicode in 2002 by Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya that these problems were solved. It is required that one should have the same font installed in the other computer as in the source computer where the document was prepared for opening and displaying in the target computer. This brings a lot of complications while transferring the data and documents from one computer to the other. All these fonts although employ Devanagari letters as glyphs or pictorial representations of letters, they still use the ASCII encoding for mapping the letters as far as storage of letters in these fonts are concerned.
were basically used in to type Nepali documents. Before the development of Nepali Unicode, Nepali fonts such as Himali, Preeti, Kantipur etc.
