; ATR character—code point EF (239): The ATR character followed by a byte code is used to switch to a different font attribute (such as bold) or language (such as Bengali), up to the next ATR sequence or the end of the line. This has no direct Unicode equivalent, as font attributes are not part of Unicode, and each script has a distinct set of code points.
; EXT character—code point F0 (240): The EXT character followed by a byte code indicates a Vedic accent. This has no direct Unicode equivalent, as Vedic accents are assigned to distinct code points.
; Halant character ़—code point E8 (232): The halant character removes the implicit vowel from a consonant and is used between consonants to represent conjunct consonants. For example, क (ka) + ् (halant) + त (ta) = क्त (kta). The sequence ् (halant) + ् (halant) displays a conjunct with an explicit halant, for example क (ka) + ् (halant) + ् (halant) + त (ta) = क्त. The sequence ् (halant) + ़ (nukta) displays a conjunct with half consonants, if available, for example क (ka) + ् (halant) + ़ (nukta) = क्त. Unicode equivalents are as follows:
{| !colspan= |-
| single halant || <code>E8</code> || halant || <code>094D</code>
|-
| halant + halant || <code>E8 E8</code> || halant + zero width non-joiner (ZWNJ) || <code>094D + 200C</code>
|-
| halant + nukta || <code>E8 E9</code> || halant + zero width joiner (ZWJ) || <code>094D + 200D</code>
|}
; Nukta character ़—code point E9 (233): The [[nukta]] character after another ISCII character is used for a number of rarer characters which don't exist in the main ISCII set. For example क (ka) + ़ (nukta) = क़ (qa). These characters have precomposed forms in Unicode, as shown in the following table.
{| class="wikitable Unicode
! ISCII<br>code point !! Original<br>character !! Character<br>with nukta !! Unicode<br>code point
