Some pages on this site contain text in a script of one of the languages of India or southeast Asia. The most common Indic script on this site is Devanagari. Most browsers support Indic scripts if the proper fonts are installed.

To the left is the Sanskrit word pavitra in Devanagari. On the top it is displayed as text, and on the bottom it is displayed as an image which shows how the top text should look. If the top text displays as question marks, small empty boxes, or small boxes containing tiny letters or numbers, then your operating system does not have Indic fonts installed, or your browser does not recognize them.

If the top text displays as Devanagari but not as shown in the bottom box, then your operating system or browser can display characters from Indic fonts but does not have complex script support and thus cannot render them properly.

See the Wikipedia article on Indic language support for information on how to enable your operating system and browser to correctly display and type Indic scripts. For Android users, there is a special Wikipedia article on multilingual support. See this site’s Devanagari article for more information on technical details.

If any characters in the top text display as question marks, small empty boxes, or small boxes containing tiny letters or numbers, then your operating system does not have fonts containing diacritical characters for Romanized Indic, or your browser does not recognize these fonts.
