Sanskrit with Standard Diacritics
In ACIP printed materials which we anticipate will be read mainly by specialists, and where we have typeset the material ourselves and can utilize the special fonts available to us, we use a standard set of diacritics which will immediately be clear to such specialists. One example would be the word pramaŻn¸ a. Sanskrit with standard diacritics in next letter position In applications intended primarily for specialists, but where the fonts available for the application do not allow all needed diacritics above or below the letter to which they refer, ACIP simply places the particular diacritic in the next letter position; for example, you will see prama-n.a for pramaŻn¸ a. This method of representation is used only in situations where there could be no ambiguity possible about the system used; for example, in the menu trees of the AsiaView user interface or in the "Sanskrit title" field of the ACIP Master Catalog, where no other hyphens or periods appear. The following is a summary of how combinations are treated in this manner. These letter combinations appear in the standard romanization of Sanskrit:
They are represented respectively as follows.
