I think this is a TECkit converter for the Preeti font:

Please see
view-source:http://hindi-fonts.com/tools/Preeti-to-Unicode-Converter
There is no direct mapping, butarray_one has the ASCII codes for
Preeti, while array_two has the corresponding unicode.

Does anyone know where I can find an ASCII to Unicode
mapping for Devanagari?
For example, it seems that the Devanagari glyph "ब" is
encoded as
0x61 (hex) in ASCII (lower case 'a' for the Latin
alphabet), but is
0x092C in the Unicode standard:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf
<http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf>
So what I am asking for is a map (or table) that maps
0x00-0x7F in
Devanagari ASCII to 0x0900-0x097F in Unicode.
In addition to the ASCII-to-Devanagari transcription system
that Philip Taylor mentioned, you may be interested in the
ISCII encoding for Brahmi-derived writing systems, including
Devanagari:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Script_Code_for_Information_Interchange
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Script_Code_for_Information_Interchange>
This is _not_ an ASCII-to-Devanagari encoding, rather it
leaves the ASCII range intact, and encodes Devanagari (etc.)
in the range 128 (actually, 161)-255. It was afaik never
widely used, but there were (and probably still are) fonts for
it. I don't imagine those fonts would be terribly high
quality by today's standards, e.g. I'd be surprised if they
handled conjunct characters.
FWIW, there was a similar encoding called TSCII for Tamil.
iconv can be used to map TSCII to other encodings, but for
some reason it doesn't seem to have ISCII in its reportoire
(it does include VISCII, but that's a legacy Vietnamese encoding).
