The DevaUni-LimUni TECkit mapping file gives the ability to convert between Unicode-encoded Devanagari script and Unicode-encoded Limbu script.īoth maps can be used with TECkit and/or SILConverters. Since Namdhinggo SIL L used an encoding that is common among other fonts for the script it is possible that this mapping file will work for texts using those custom-encoded Limbu fonts. If you have existing data using the now-obsolete Namdhinggo SIL L font and wish to convert your data to Unicode, you may use the Limbu-legacy to Limbu Unicode TECkit mapping file to convert documents (text or Word) to Unicode. The script was named “Sirijonga” in his honour by the Limbu scholar Iman Singh Chemjong. The modern Sirijonga was apparently martyred in 1741 for the sake of this script by lamas in Sikkim. It then fell out of use before being reintroduced in the 18th century by Teongsi Sirijonga (1704-1741) whom many felt to be the reincarnation of the first Sirijonga. This Unicode-encoded font has been designed to support literacy and materials development in the Limbu language.Īccording to traditional histories the Limbu script was developed by King Sirijonga in the 9th Century. The Limbu, or Kirat Sirijonga, script is used by around 400,000 people in Nepal and India. It provides glyphs for all Limbu characters and some Latin. Namdhinggo is a Unicode font for the Limbu writing system of Nepal.
