How is text represented through ACII?
ACII (Alphabet code for Information Interchange) code contains all the basic characters available on the ACII keyboard. For example, The ACII Indian code and keyboard accommodates the requirements for the 10 Indian scripts: Assamese, Bengali, Devanagri, Gujrati, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu. The basic characters are ordered such that direct sorting gives results, which are almost the same as that for any of the scripts. The ACII codes have to be converted to ISFOC for display purpose. This is done through an ISFA algorithm for the selected script. An ACII text can be displayed in any of the scripts. Transliteration to another script can be achieved by merely selecting that script. ACII code is used in communication media, like telex, for optimal transfer of text. ALP word processor uses the ACII code internally to allow proper editing at alphabetic level and unique representation of spellings. The existing window applications are unable to handle ACII directly,
