Thread: conversion from iscii to unicode

conversion from iscii to unicode
chenkuttavan[ at ]gmail.com 5/3/2007 6:53:25 AM
Hello,
I have large mass of text saved in iscii encoding for Malayalam saved
in doc format to be converted to unicode. (Iscii is Indian Script Code
for Information Interchange.) I see that there is a converter in Word
which converts iscii encoded .txt file to unicode .txt file. I try to
save my doc files with Malayalam text (based on iscii coding) to .txt
with iscii Malayalam encoding and see only weird characters in preview
pane. The text in doc files are input using ISM sotware. (I have
enabled International support, indic coding etc. in Word, checked the
option "confirm coversion at open".) Why is this? My
OS is XP SP2 and I have installed files for complex script and right
to left languages. This was posted in
microsoft.public.word.docmanagement two days ago, but somebody
suggested posting it here. Thanks for any suggestions.

It is not very clear to me. Can you please send me a sample text file in
Malayalam ISCII to me (pavanaja[ at ]vishvakannada.com)? I will convert it into
Unicode and see myself. I have done the ISCII to Unicode conversion using
Word 2003 so many times. It works well.
