Script: Devanagari

• Establish consistent Devanagari usage for inherent vowels and halant in your UI design.
• Ensure font support and proper shaping for conjuncts and ligatures; test across platforms.
• Provide graceful fallbacks when Devanagari fonts or shaping engines are unavailable.
• Set accurate language attributes and directional hints to aid assistive tech and search
• Test input handling, normalization, and rendering of conjuncts and matras across browsers and devices.

Devanagari is used for several languages and features complex consonant conjuncts and vowel signs. In interfaces, it’s common for labels, forms, and content to mix with other scripts, so reliable shaping and clear typography are key. Content authors should keep passages legible and consistent with the chosen language target.

Historically, Devanagari evolved from ancient scripts and was standardized to support a wide phonetic range. Modern use emphasizes readability, predictable rendering, and accessibility in digital contexts. When integrating Devanagari, consider interoperability with related script blocks such as Arrows block, Geometric shapes block, and Currency symbols.
