One motivation for the use of a single encoding is the idea that it will allow easy [[transliteration]] from one writing system to another. However, there are enough incompatibilities that this is not really a practical idea. See [http://www.acharya.gen.in:8080/multi_sys/exist_codes.php#Interchange About ISCII].
ISCII is an 8-bit encoding. The lower 128 code points are plain [[American Standard Code for Information Interchange|ASCII]], the upper 128 code points are ISCII-specific. In addition to the code points representing characters, ISCII makes use of a code point with mnemonic ATR that indicates that the following byte contains one of two kinds of information. One set of values changes the writing system until the next writing system indicator or end-of-line. Another set of values select display modes such as bold and italic. ISCII does not provide a means of indicating the default writing system
