Notes		From the Author: I am writing to you in hopes of requesting you to post an item to your ismaili.net website regarding my work on a Unicode standard for the Khojki script, which was used to record the literature (ginans, etc) of the Nizari Ismaili community of Sindh in South Asia. My work on a Khojki standard for Unicode will enable the representation of the script in the digital medium. Practically, this means that Ismailis will be able to produce digital content in the script that was originally used to record their literature. Secondly, my work will help in the preservation of Khojki manuscripts. My proposal to encode the Khojki script in Unicode is available at http://www.umich.edu/~pandey/khojki.pdf I am interested in comments from the Ismaili community. After all, I developed this project so that Ismailis may use technology to preserve and expand their culture.
