→Code points for all language: Assamese was probably excluded from the table because it uses the same script as Bengali. Annex A of ISCII91.PDF shows that Assamese and Bengali use different characters for RA and VA. In fact, the entry for VA in this table was the character for Assamese, not Bengali; Bengali uses 09AC for both BA and VA. Assamese uses 09F0 for RA. |

{{short description|Coding scheme for Indian writing systems}}
{{Contains special characters|Indic}}
'''Indian Script Code for Information Interchange''' ('''ISCII''') is a coding scheme for representing various writing systems of [[India]]. It encodes the main [[Indic script]]s and a Roman transliteration. The supported scripts are: [[Assamese alphabet|Assamese]], [[Bengali alphabet|
ISCII has not been widely used outside certain government institutions, although a variant without the {{ctrl|ATR|internal=yes}} mechanism was used on [[classic Mac OS]],<ref name="appledevanagari"/> and it has now been rendered largely obsolete by [[Unicode]]. Unicode uses a separate block for each Indic writing system, and largely preserves the ISCII layout within each block.
