1 Introduction
This is a preliminary proposal to encode the Siddham script in the Universal Character Set (ISOIEC 10646)It is a collaborative effort between the Script Encoding Initiative (SEI) at the University of California Berke-ley and the Shingon Buddhist International Institute
The purpose of this document is to present a character-encoding standard for Siddham It provides briefbackground on the script describes the proposed character set and technical aspects of the writing systemand offers examples of usage Issues requiring additional research are identified in Section 5
Siddham is a Brahmi-based writing system that originated in India but whose usage is centered primarily inEast Asia At present it is associated with esoteric Buddhist traditions in Japan Nevertheless Siddham isstructurally an Indic script and the encoding proposed for it adheres to the UCS encoding model for Brahmi-based writing systems such as Devanagari and similarly structured scripts The technical description andimplementation of Siddham given in this document may differ from the traditional analysis and philosophicalinterpretations of the script and its constituent characters and glyphs An attempt has been made to encodeall distinct characters attested in Siddham records although more characters may be uncovered throughadditional research The characters that are proposed for encoding have been analyzed in accordance with thecharacter-glyphmodel of theUCSAs a result the proposed character set for Siddhammay contain charactersthat are not part of traditional character repertoires It may also exclude characters that are traditionallyregarded as independent letters eg conjuncts such characters are to be represented in the manner specifiedby the UCS encoding model
The Siddham lsquoTenchijirsquo font used here was designed by the Shingon Buddhist International Institute withassistance from Lee Collins and Peter Lofting The present author has added new glyphs and made somemodifications to existing glyphs
A formal proposal is being developed in collaboration with Siddham experts and other scholars Feedbackis requested from experts and users of the script Comments may be submitted to the author at the emailaddress given above

Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
2 Background
The Siddham script ( 710857108871102 siddham 710857108871102 siddhām Sans िस siddham Chi 悉曇文字 xītaacuten weacutenzigrave Jap悉曇 shittan Kor 실담 siltam) is a Brahmi-based script historically used for writing Sanskrit in ChinaJapan and Korea It is also known in Japan as bonji (梵字 Chi fagravenzigrave ldquoBrahmā lettersrdquo lt Sans ाbrahmā) At present Siddham is used predominantly in Japan where it is associated with the Shingon(真言) and Tendai (天台) schools of Japanese esoteric Buddhism (密教 mikkyō) Siddham was used forwriting Buddhist manuscripts but it is now mainly used for ceremonial and ritualistic purposes such asthe copying of sūtra-s and the writing of mantra-s and bījāksara-s ldquoseed syllablesrdquo associated with esotericBuddhist practices It was also used for writing inscriptions on statuary amulets and other artefacts
Tradition states that the esoteric philosopy of Siddham was introduced in Japan in 806 by the Buddhistmonk Kūkai (空海) (774ndash835) who learned the script in China from Prajntildeā (Sans ा Chi 般若三藏 BōrěSāncaacuteng) (734ndashc810) a monk from Kashmir who served the Buddhist community of Changrsquoan (modern西安 Xirsquoan) as an expert of Sanskrit and translator of Buddhist texts (van Gulik 1980 114 Abe 1999117ndash119) Known better by his posthumous title Kōbō-Daishi (弘法大師) Kūkai was the founder of theShingon (ldquoTrue Wordrdquo) school Another proponent of Siddham in Japan was Saichō (最澄) (767ndash822) alsocalled Dengyō-Daishi (伝教大師) who was the founder of the Tendai school
There are several regional forms of Siddham The Japanese form is described here and it is presented as thenormative form for the encoding In Japan Siddham calligraphy is classified as lsquoformalrsquo or lsquoinformalrsquo basedupon the implement used for writing The lsquoformalrsquo script is written using a wooden stylus called bokuhitsu(木筆 Chi mugrave-bĭ ) while the lsquoinformalrsquo or lsquobrushrsquo style is written using the common hair-tipped fude (筆Chi 毛筆 maacuteo-bĭ ) The lsquoformalrsquo and lsquoinformalrsquo styles of letters are shown in figures 12ndash17 The Siddhamused in China and Korea (see figures 21ndash26) differ from that of Japan mainly in terms of letterforms Giventhe close relationships between the various regional forms and their identities as lsquoSiddhamrsquo it is practical tounify regional variants of Siddham with the script block that is proposed here for encoding
Siddham is most closely related to Sharada (see tables 1 and 2) a Brahmi-based script that originated inKashmir and that was used throughout northwestern India for producing manuscripts and inscriptions (seePandey 2009) Use of Sharada spread from India into Central Asia and travelled from there to China withBuddhist monks An example of Central Asian Siddham is found on the palm-leaf manuscripts of the Hōryū-ji (法隆寺) temple in Nara Japan (see figure 6) which were brought there from China in 609 A detailedpalaeographical description of the Siddham of these manuscripts was presented by Georg Buumlhler (1884)
Additional background information will be provided in the formal proposal
3 Proposal Details
A total of 82 characters is required to encode a basic character set for Siddham 14 vowel letters 14 dependentvowel and related signs 33 consonant letters 1 1 invocation sign 4 punctuation marks 3 repetitionmarks and 12 section marks Other characters used in Siddham texts have been identified but are not yetproposed for encoding because additional information regarding their usage is required (see Section 5)
Siddham is allocated to the SupplementaryMultilingual Plane (SMP) at the rangeU+11580U+115FF Char-acter names follow the UCS convention for Brahmi-based scripts The proposed code chart and names listare shown in figures 1 and 2 The code chart draws upon a document prepared by Michael Everson (1999)but offers some revisions and new additions

4 Writing System
41 Structure
The general structure (phonetic order mātrā reordering use of virāma etc) of Siddham is similar to thatof Devanagari Consonant clusters are represented as conjuncts Some consonants and vowel signs havedifferent shapes when they occur in certain environments
42 Directionality
Siddham is written hozitonally left-to-right but it is also written vertically top-to-bottom with lines proceed-ing from right-to-left See figure 4 for an example of Siddham written left-to-right and figure 5 for textwritten top-to-bottom
43 Virāma
The Siddham 71100 is identical to the corresponding character in Devanagari It is used for silencing theinherent vowel of a consonant and for producing consonant conjuncts The default rendering of isas a visible sign The is known in Sanskrit as हल त halanta and in Japanese as怛達点 tatatsu-ten
44 Vowel Letters
There are 14 vowel letters proposed for encoding
71040

Unattested vowel signs Dependent forms of 71052 and 71053 are as of yet unattested Space has been reserved in the code chart in the event that additional researchuncovers such characters
Graphical variants There are glyphic variants of vowel signs (see figures 12 and 19) which are to bemanaged through fonts
Alternate forms There is an alternate form for Normally this sign is written as 71097 The two-part form is also attested it is a combination of 71096 and 71087 in which the latter sign acts as a vowel-length mark
Nasalization The signs 71102 and 71101 are used for indicating nasalization
Visarga The sign 71103 represents post-vocalic aspiration (h) In Sanskrit phonology it indicatesan allophone of71085 or 71080 in word-final position
Ordering of multiple signs In certain cases such as when writing lsquoseed syllablesrsquo a base letter that iscombined with or may also be combined with eg 710417110171103 or 7110171103 āmh Insuch cases the should be written last lt71040 71101 71103 gt Rendering enginesshould recognize such sequences of combining marks as valid
46 Consonants
There are 33 consonant letters proposed for encoding

71055
71056
71057
71058
71059
71060

71085
71086
Each consonant bears the inherent vowel a represented by71040 which is silenced using 71100 Variantforms of consonants are attested (see figures 13ndash17) these are to be managed at the font level
47 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are written as conjuncts They are not encoded as independent characters Conjunctsare represented using which is written after each consonant in a cluster Siddham conjuncts arewritten vertically horizontally and as independent ligatures Additional details will be provided in theformal proposal
4
Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
There are traditional Chinese and Japanese tabulations for Siddham conjuncts One such classification sys-tem was described in the manual Xītaacuten Zigravejigrave (悉曇字記) by the Chinese monk Zhigrave-guǎng (智廣) (d 806)who organized the various possible cluster combinations of Siddham consonants into eighteen categories(see figure 42) Examples of several conjuncts are shown in figures 43ndash58
Shaping The shape of some consonants change when they occur in conjunct-initial position (eg 71054 rarr 71080 rarr repha) some are written using post-base forms when they are non-initial (eg 71079 rarr )These ligating forms are illustrated in figures 13ndash17 (column labeled ldquoin combinationrdquo) and figures 19ndash20
Depth Siddham conjuncts may represent clusters with large numbers of consonants For example a con-junct of six consonants is rksvrya which is produced using the sequence lt71080 71100 71054 71100 71084 71100 71082 71100 71080 71100 71079 gt
Special Conjuncts The glyphs ksa and llam are often shown as independent letters in Siddham chartsThe kṣa represents conjuncts of different consonant letters and llam represents conjuncts of geminate con-sonants Based upon the UCS encoding model they are not independent letters but conjuncts They are tobe represented using the following sequences = lt71054 71100 71084 gt (compare Devanagari ksa= ltक ष gt) = lt71081 71100 71081 71102 gt It may be practical to definethese conjuncts as named character sequences (see Section 5)
Default Representation It is expected that a basic Siddham font will contain the necessary glyphs forproperly representing conjuncts A consonant cluster is depicted with the appropriate conjunct glyph only ifsuch a glyph is available in the font If the conjunct glyph is unavailable the bare consonants in the clusterare depicted using their full forms combined with a visible While these depictions of conjuncts maynot be used in Siddham orthography they are necessary for the representation of the script in plain text Inorder to render Siddham text appropriately in the absence of distinct glyphs for any possible conjunct it isrecommended that a set of condensed forms of letters in conjunct-initial and non-initial positions be availableso that arbitrary conjuncts may be rendered in the vertical orientation used in Siddham orthography
48 Consonant-Vowel Combinations
Vowel signs combine with consonant letters and conjuncts as in Devanagari Some consonant shapes aremodified when they are written with vowels (eg 71054 rarr when combining with 71090 ku)Some vowel signs are written as contextual forms when they occur with certain consonants For example 71090 rarr and 71091 rarr when combining with71058 71061 71064 71065 71067 71073 71074 71082 When written with 71080 these signs have an additional contextual form ru and rū Additional details will be provided in the formal proposal
49 Invocations
The following characters are used as invocations
1 71104 This sign is written at the beginning of a text (see figures 6 and 37) It has a vertically-oriented glyphic variant (see figure 32) The sign is traditionally analyzed as being formed fromthe lower portion of 71042 Palaeographically71104 corresponds to characters used in other Indic scriptswhere it represents the Sanskrit invocation वि त svasti ldquomay it be auspiciousrdquo

2 om The sacred syllable om is represented using the sequence lt71048 71101 gt rarr 7104871101 Adistinct om character is not attested for Siddham
410 Punctuation
The following punctuation characters are proposed for encoding
1 71105 and 71106 The is used for marking the end of sentences and othershort text sections while is used at the end of paragraphs and larger text blocks (seefigures 31 39 40) The and are written as and in lsquoinformalrsquo Japanesewriting these are to be treated as glyphic variants and managed through fonts The Siddham dandā-sare graphically distinct from those of Devanagari and are therefore proposed for separate encoding
2 71107 and 71108 These signs are used for marking boundariesbetween words Usage of is shown in figure 37 The isshown in figures 39 40 41 where it is used alongside 71105 and 71106
3 Middle dot Word and phrase separation is also indicated using a middot middle dot (see figure 38) Thischaracter is to be written using the already encoded middot +00B7
Other punctuation marks are attested but more information about their usage is required (see Section 5)
411 Section Marks
Several characters are used for marking the end of text sections Twelve such characters are proposed forencoding 71112 71113 71114 71115 71116 71117 71118 71119 71120 71121 71122 71123
Of these the first ten are attested in various Siddham manuscripts (see figures 31 32 34) The last two areattested in a manuscript (see figure 38) The71121 is often used to indicate the completionof an entire text while the others are used at the ends of paragraphs Several other similar characters maybe attested (see Section 5)
412 Repetition Marks
The 71109 71110 and 71111 are used forindicating the repetition of text They are written after the text that is to be repeated Questions regardingthe usage of repetition marks are stated in Section 5
The 71109 has the glyphic variants and (see figures 31 32 34) Based uponits graphical shape and function it is likely that is derived from an Indic digit lsquo2rsquo(compare Devanagari २) A common practice in manuscript traditions of northern India is to indicate therepetition of words using digits The digit used indicates the number of repetitions eg lsquo2rsquo for twice lsquo3rsquofor thrice As there are no attested digits for Siddham it appears that the original link between and a numeric value was forgotten and the original digit for lsquo2rsquo was preserved as a symbol Thisexplains the serialized usage of in the text excerpt in figure 35 for indicating a triplereading ie Devanagari ldquo २ २rdquo instead of ldquo ३rdquo for hūm hūm hūm)

The 71110 is used in the vertical version of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra shown infigure 5 An excerpt of the Sūtra with the repetition marks highlighted is shown in figure 36 Here the markappears after71079 ya (3rd character) another ya (7th character) and 71080 ra (10th character) The mark promptsthe reader to parse the text as ldquojaya jaya vijaya vijaya smara smarardquo It is possible that is used only in a vertical environment This is supported by the accompanying Japanese annotationwhich glosses71110 using〱 +3031
The71111 is shown in several Siddham manuals It is proposed for encoding becauseit is a graphically-distinct character
413 Digits
Siddham does not have a traditional set of digits (see Section 5)
414 Editorial Marks
Siddham manuscripts contain editorial marks such as those used for indicating the insertion or deletion oftext The characters and are used for marking deletions (see figure 34) Another character is a caret-like insertion mark that is written below the baseline to indicate the insertion of text These editorial marksare not unique to Siddham and are used in various Indic manuscript traditions These characters should berepresented using already-encoded characters with similar functions (see Section 5)
415 Pedagogical Characters
There are several pedagogical characters used for describing Siddham letters in script manuals Some ofthese are discussed below These characters may be candidates for encoding but additional research isrequired regarding their usage and suitability for encoding as per the UCS encoding model (see Section 5)
Character Strokes Siddham manuals describe elemental character strokes that are used for writing letters(see figure 62) Some of these are described below
1 myō-ten The stroke is the initial mark made when a brush is pressed upon a surface for writingany Siddham letter (see the stroke order in figures 63 and 64) It is known in Japanese as命点 myō-ten ldquolife markrdquo The myō-ten corresponds to the Chinese simple stroke (點 diǎn ldquodotrdquo) which isencoded in the UCS as+31D4
2 a-ten The stroke is shown in some historical and modern Siddham handbooks as a dependentvowel sign of 71040 (see figures 19 60 61) or as a lsquovariationrsquo of the letter (see figure 12) For thisreason it is called ア点 a-ten ldquoa markrdquo in Japanese It is a horizontally elongated form of myō-tenThe a-ten is not a true lsquovowel signrsquo but a portion of the top-stroke or mātrā (Sans मा ा) inherent ineach consonant letter
3 gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is known in Japanese as 仰月点 gyōgatsu-ten ldquomoon-viewing markrdquoand in Sanskrit as अधच ardhacandra ldquohalf-moonrdquo It is the foundational stroke of the sign 71101 - which is produced by writing 71102 with gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is considered荘厳 shougon (Sans अलकार alamkāra) ldquoadornmentrdquo or ldquodecorationrdquo in that it does not change thephonological value of The use of gyōgatsu-ten is shown in figure 65 where it appears asan independent graphical element

4 u-ten The stroke is known asウ点 u-ten ldquoumarkrdquo in Japanese It is used for forming characterslike71042 71044 and71045
5 en-ten The stroke is known as 円点 en-ten ldquocircle markrdquo in Japanese It is used for formingcharacters like 71102 and 71065
lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt
71050 lt 71051 lt 71052 lt 71053 lt 71054 lt 71055 lt
71056 lt 71057 lt 71058 lt 71059 lt 71060 lt 71061 lt 71062 lt 71063 lt
71064 lt 71065 lt 71066 lt 71067 lt 71068 lt 71069 lt 71070 lt 71071 lt
71072 lt 71073 lt 71074 lt 71075 lt 71076 lt 71077 lt 71078 lt 71079 lt 71080 lt

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)

2 Background
The Siddham script ( 710857108871102 siddham 710857108871102 siddhām Sans िस siddham Chi 悉曇文字 xītaacuten weacutenzigrave Jap悉曇 shittan Kor 실담 siltam) is a Brahmi-based script historically used for writing Sanskrit in ChinaJapan and Korea It is also known in Japan as bonji (梵字 Chi fagravenzigrave ldquoBrahmā lettersrdquo lt Sans ाbrahmā) At present Siddham is used predominantly in Japan where it is associated with the Shingon(真言) and Tendai (天台) schools of Japanese esoteric Buddhism (密教 mikkyō) Siddham was used forwriting Buddhist manuscripts but it is now mainly used for ceremonial and ritualistic purposes such asthe copying of sūtra-s and the writing of mantra-s and bījāksara-s ldquoseed syllablesrdquo associated with esotericBuddhist practices It was also used for writing inscriptions on statuary amulets and other artefacts
Tradition states that the esoteric philosopy of Siddham was introduced in Japan in 806 by the Buddhistmonk Kūkai (空海) (774ndash835) who learned the script in China from Prajntildeā (Sans ा Chi 般若三藏 BōrěSāncaacuteng) (734ndashc810) a monk from Kashmir who served the Buddhist community of Changrsquoan (modern西安 Xirsquoan) as an expert of Sanskrit and translator of Buddhist texts (van Gulik 1980 114 Abe 1999117ndash119) Known better by his posthumous title Kōbō-Daishi (弘法大師) Kūkai was the founder of theShingon (ldquoTrue Wordrdquo) school Another proponent of Siddham in Japan was Saichō (最澄) (767ndash822) alsocalled Dengyō-Daishi (伝教大師) who was the founder of the Tendai school
There are several regional forms of Siddham The Japanese form is described here and it is presented as thenormative form for the encoding In Japan Siddham calligraphy is classified as lsquoformalrsquo or lsquoinformalrsquo basedupon the implement used for writing The lsquoformalrsquo script is written using a wooden stylus called bokuhitsu(木筆 Chi mugrave-bĭ ) while the lsquoinformalrsquo or lsquobrushrsquo style is written using the common hair-tipped fude (筆Chi 毛筆 maacuteo-bĭ ) The lsquoformalrsquo and lsquoinformalrsquo styles of letters are shown in figures 12ndash17 The Siddhamused in China and Korea (see figures 21ndash26) differ from that of Japan mainly in terms of letterforms Giventhe close relationships between the various regional forms and their identities as lsquoSiddhamrsquo it is practical tounify regional variants of Siddham with the script block that is proposed here for encoding
Siddham is most closely related to Sharada (see tables 1 and 2) a Brahmi-based script that originated inKashmir and that was used throughout northwestern India for producing manuscripts and inscriptions (seePandey 2009) Use of Sharada spread from India into Central Asia and travelled from there to China withBuddhist monks An example of Central Asian Siddham is found on the palm-leaf manuscripts of the Hōryū-ji (法隆寺) temple in Nara Japan (see figure 6) which were brought there from China in 609 A detailedpalaeographical description of the Siddham of these manuscripts was presented by Georg Buumlhler (1884)
Additional background information will be provided in the formal proposal
3 Proposal Details
A total of 82 characters is required to encode a basic character set for Siddham 14 vowel letters 14 dependentvowel and related signs 33 consonant letters 1 1 invocation sign 4 punctuation marks 3 repetitionmarks and 12 section marks Other characters used in Siddham texts have been identified but are not yetproposed for encoding because additional information regarding their usage is required (see Section 5)
Siddham is allocated to the SupplementaryMultilingual Plane (SMP) at the rangeU+11580U+115FF Char-acter names follow the UCS convention for Brahmi-based scripts The proposed code chart and names listare shown in figures 1 and 2 The code chart draws upon a document prepared by Michael Everson (1999)but offers some revisions and new additions

4 Writing System
41 Structure
The general structure (phonetic order mātrā reordering use of virāma etc) of Siddham is similar to thatof Devanagari Consonant clusters are represented as conjuncts Some consonants and vowel signs havedifferent shapes when they occur in certain environments
42 Directionality
Siddham is written hozitonally left-to-right but it is also written vertically top-to-bottom with lines proceed-ing from right-to-left See figure 4 for an example of Siddham written left-to-right and figure 5 for textwritten top-to-bottom
43 Virāma
The Siddham 71100 is identical to the corresponding character in Devanagari It is used for silencing theinherent vowel of a consonant and for producing consonant conjuncts The default rendering of isas a visible sign The is known in Sanskrit as हल त halanta and in Japanese as怛達点 tatatsu-ten

Unattested vowel signs Dependent forms of 71052 and 71053 are as of yet unattested Space has been reserved in the code chart in the event that additional researchuncovers such characters
Graphical variants There are glyphic variants of vowel signs (see figures 12 and 19) which are to bemanaged through fonts
Alternate forms There is an alternate form for Normally this sign is written as 71097 The two-part form is also attested it is a combination of 71096 and 71087 in which the latter sign acts as a vowel-length mark
Nasalization The signs 71102 and 71101 are used for indicating nasalization
Visarga The sign 71103 represents post-vocalic aspiration (h) In Sanskrit phonology it indicatesan allophone of71085 or 71080 in word-final position
Ordering of multiple signs In certain cases such as when writing lsquoseed syllablesrsquo a base letter that iscombined with or may also be combined with eg 710417110171103 or 7110171103 āmh Insuch cases the should be written last lt71040 71101 71103 gt Rendering enginesshould recognize such sequences of combining marks as valid

Each consonant bears the inherent vowel a represented by71040 which is silenced using 71100 Variantforms of consonants are attested (see figures 13ndash17) these are to be managed at the font level
47 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are written as conjuncts They are not encoded as independent characters Conjunctsare represented using which is written after each consonant in a cluster Siddham conjuncts arewritten vertically horizontally and as independent ligatures Additional details will be provided in theformal proposal
4
Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
There are traditional Chinese and Japanese tabulations for Siddham conjuncts One such classification sys-tem was described in the manual Xītaacuten Zigravejigrave (悉曇字記) by the Chinese monk Zhigrave-guǎng (智廣) (d 806)who organized the various possible cluster combinations of Siddham consonants into eighteen categories(see figure 42) Examples of several conjuncts are shown in figures 43ndash58
Shaping The shape of some consonants change when they occur in conjunct-initial position (eg 71054 rarr 71080 rarr repha) some are written using post-base forms when they are non-initial (eg 71079 rarr )These ligating forms are illustrated in figures 13ndash17 (column labeled ldquoin combinationrdquo) and figures 19ndash20
Depth Siddham conjuncts may represent clusters with large numbers of consonants For example a con-junct of six consonants is rksvrya which is produced using the sequence lt71080 71100 71054 71100 71084 71100 71082 71100 71080 71100 71079 gt
Special Conjuncts The glyphs ksa and llam are often shown as independent letters in Siddham chartsThe kṣa represents conjuncts of different consonant letters and llam represents conjuncts of geminate con-sonants Based upon the UCS encoding model they are not independent letters but conjuncts They are tobe represented using the following sequences = lt71054 71100 71084 gt (compare Devanagari ksa= ltक ष gt) = lt71081 71100 71081 71102 gt It may be practical to definethese conjuncts as named character sequences (see Section 5)
Default Representation It is expected that a basic Siddham font will contain the necessary glyphs forproperly representing conjuncts A consonant cluster is depicted with the appropriate conjunct glyph only ifsuch a glyph is available in the font If the conjunct glyph is unavailable the bare consonants in the clusterare depicted using their full forms combined with a visible While these depictions of conjuncts maynot be used in Siddham orthography they are necessary for the representation of the script in plain text Inorder to render Siddham text appropriately in the absence of distinct glyphs for any possible conjunct it isrecommended that a set of condensed forms of letters in conjunct-initial and non-initial positions be availableso that arbitrary conjuncts may be rendered in the vertical orientation used in Siddham orthography
48 Consonant-Vowel Combinations
Vowel signs combine with consonant letters and conjuncts as in Devanagari Some consonant shapes aremodified when they are written with vowels (eg 71054 rarr when combining with 71090 ku)Some vowel signs are written as contextual forms when they occur with certain consonants For example 71090 rarr and 71091 rarr when combining with71058 71061 71064 71065 71067 71073 71074 71082 When written with 71080 these signs have an additional contextual form ru and rū Additional details will be provided in the formal proposal
49 Invocations
The following characters are used as invocations
1 71104 This sign is written at the beginning of a text (see figures 6 and 37) It has a vertically-oriented glyphic variant (see figure 32) The sign is traditionally analyzed as being formed fromthe lower portion of 71042 Palaeographically71104 corresponds to characters used in other Indic scriptswhere it represents the Sanskrit invocation वि त svasti ldquomay it be auspiciousrdquo

2 om The sacred syllable om is represented using the sequence lt71048 71101 gt rarr 7104871101 Adistinct om character is not attested for Siddham
410 Punctuation
The following punctuation characters are proposed for encoding
1 71105 and 71106 The is used for marking the end of sentences and othershort text sections while is used at the end of paragraphs and larger text blocks (seefigures 31 39 40) The and are written as and in lsquoinformalrsquo Japanesewriting these are to be treated as glyphic variants and managed through fonts The Siddham dandā-sare graphically distinct from those of Devanagari and are therefore proposed for separate encoding
2 71107 and 71108 These signs are used for marking boundariesbetween words Usage of is shown in figure 37 The isshown in figures 39 40 41 where it is used alongside 71105 and 71106
3 Middle dot Word and phrase separation is also indicated using a middot middle dot (see figure 38) Thischaracter is to be written using the already encoded middot +00B7
Other punctuation marks are attested but more information about their usage is required (see Section 5)
411 Section Marks
Several characters are used for marking the end of text sections Twelve such characters are proposed forencoding 71112 71113 71114 71115 71116 71117 71118 71119 71120 71121 71122 71123
Of these the first ten are attested in various Siddham manuscripts (see figures 31 32 34) The last two areattested in a manuscript (see figure 38) The71121 is often used to indicate the completionof an entire text while the others are used at the ends of paragraphs Several other similar characters maybe attested (see Section 5)
412 Repetition Marks
The 71109 71110 and 71111 are used forindicating the repetition of text They are written after the text that is to be repeated Questions regardingthe usage of repetition marks are stated in Section 5
The 71109 has the glyphic variants and (see figures 31 32 34) Based uponits graphical shape and function it is likely that is derived from an Indic digit lsquo2rsquo(compare Devanagari २) A common practice in manuscript traditions of northern India is to indicate therepetition of words using digits The digit used indicates the number of repetitions eg lsquo2rsquo for twice lsquo3rsquofor thrice As there are no attested digits for Siddham it appears that the original link between and a numeric value was forgotten and the original digit for lsquo2rsquo was preserved as a symbol Thisexplains the serialized usage of in the text excerpt in figure 35 for indicating a triplereading ie Devanagari ldquo २ २rdquo instead of ldquo ३rdquo for hūm hūm hūm)
6
Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
The 71110 is used in the vertical version of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra shown infigure 5 An excerpt of the Sūtra with the repetition marks highlighted is shown in figure 36 Here the markappears after71079 ya (3rd character) another ya (7th character) and 71080 ra (10th character) The mark promptsthe reader to parse the text as ldquojaya jaya vijaya vijaya smara smarardquo It is possible that is used only in a vertical environment This is supported by the accompanying Japanese annotationwhich glosses71110 using〱 +3031
The71111 is shown in several Siddham manuals It is proposed for encoding becauseit is a graphically-distinct character
413 Digits
Siddham does not have a traditional set of digits (see Section 5)
414 Editorial Marks
Siddham manuscripts contain editorial marks such as those used for indicating the insertion or deletion oftext The characters and are used for marking deletions (see figure 34) Another character is a caret-like insertion mark that is written below the baseline to indicate the insertion of text These editorial marksare not unique to Siddham and are used in various Indic manuscript traditions These characters should berepresented using already-encoded characters with similar functions (see Section 5)
415 Pedagogical Characters
There are several pedagogical characters used for describing Siddham letters in script manuals Some ofthese are discussed below These characters may be candidates for encoding but additional research isrequired regarding their usage and suitability for encoding as per the UCS encoding model (see Section 5)
Character Strokes Siddham manuals describe elemental character strokes that are used for writing letters(see figure 62) Some of these are described below
1 myō-ten The stroke is the initial mark made when a brush is pressed upon a surface for writingany Siddham letter (see the stroke order in figures 63 and 64) It is known in Japanese as命点 myō-ten ldquolife markrdquo The myō-ten corresponds to the Chinese simple stroke (點 diǎn ldquodotrdquo) which isencoded in the UCS as+31D4
2 a-ten The stroke is shown in some historical and modern Siddham handbooks as a dependentvowel sign of 71040 (see figures 19 60 61) or as a lsquovariationrsquo of the letter (see figure 12) For thisreason it is called ア点 a-ten ldquoa markrdquo in Japanese It is a horizontally elongated form of myō-tenThe a-ten is not a true lsquovowel signrsquo but a portion of the top-stroke or mātrā (Sans मा ा) inherent ineach consonant letter
3 gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is known in Japanese as 仰月点 gyōgatsu-ten ldquomoon-viewing markrdquoand in Sanskrit as अधच ardhacandra ldquohalf-moonrdquo It is the foundational stroke of the sign 71101 - which is produced by writing 71102 with gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is considered荘厳 shougon (Sans अलकार alamkāra) ldquoadornmentrdquo or ldquodecorationrdquo in that it does not change thephonological value of The use of gyōgatsu-ten is shown in figure 65 where it appears asan independent graphical element

lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)
9 Figure 13 (row 11) shows the below-base character listed along with 71101 and 71102 What is this character Is this the gyōgatsu-ten

10 Michael Eversonrsquos chart for Siddham shows a character named ldquo -rdquo It is not a vowel sign but the pedagogical character gyōgatsu-ten described in Section 415 Ifthe gyōgatsu-ten is to be encoded should it be defined as a combining sign

4 Writing System
41 Structure
The general structure (phonetic order mātrā reordering use of virāma etc) of Siddham is similar to thatof Devanagari Consonant clusters are represented as conjuncts Some consonants and vowel signs havedifferent shapes when they occur in certain environments
42 Directionality
Siddham is written hozitonally left-to-right but it is also written vertically top-to-bottom with lines proceed-ing from right-to-left See figure 4 for an example of Siddham written left-to-right and figure 5 for textwritten top-to-bottom
43 Virāma
The Siddham 71100 is identical to the corresponding character in Devanagari It is used for silencing theinherent vowel of a consonant and for producing consonant conjuncts The default rendering of isas a visible sign The is known in Sanskrit as हल त halanta and in Japanese as怛達点 tatatsu-ten
44 Vowel Letters
There are 14 vowel letters proposed for encoding

Unattested vowel signs Dependent forms of 71052 and 71053 are as of yet unattested Space has been reserved in the code chart in the event that additional researchuncovers such characters
Graphical variants There are glyphic variants of vowel signs (see figures 12 and 19) which are to bemanaged through fonts
Alternate forms There is an alternate form for Normally this sign is written as 71097 The two-part form is also attested it is a combination of 71096 and 71087 in which the latter sign acts as a vowel-length mark
Nasalization The signs 71102 and 71101 are used for indicating nasalization
Visarga The sign 71103 represents post-vocalic aspiration (h) In Sanskrit phonology it indicatesan allophone of71085 or 71080 in word-final position
Ordering of multiple signs In certain cases such as when writing lsquoseed syllablesrsquo a base letter that iscombined with or may also be combined with eg 710417110171103 or 7110171103 āmh Insuch cases the should be written last lt71040 71101 71103 gt Rendering enginesshould recognize such sequences of combining marks as valid

Each consonant bears the inherent vowel a represented by71040 which is silenced using 71100 Variantforms of consonants are attested (see figures 13ndash17) these are to be managed at the font level
47 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are written as conjuncts They are not encoded as independent characters Conjunctsare represented using which is written after each consonant in a cluster Siddham conjuncts arewritten vertically horizontally and as independent ligatures Additional details will be provided in theformal proposal

Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
There are traditional Chinese and Japanese tabulations for Siddham conjuncts One such classification sys-tem was described in the manual Xītaacuten Zigravejigrave (悉曇字記) by the Chinese monk Zhigrave-guǎng (智廣) (d 806)who organized the various possible cluster combinations of Siddham consonants into eighteen categories(see figure 42) Examples of several conjuncts are shown in figures 43ndash58
Shaping The shape of some consonants change when they occur in conjunct-initial position (eg 71054 rarr 71080 rarr repha) some are written using post-base forms when they are non-initial (eg 71079 rarr )These ligating forms are illustrated in figures 13ndash17 (column labeled ldquoin combinationrdquo) and figures 19ndash20
Depth Siddham conjuncts may represent clusters with large numbers of consonants For example a con-junct of six consonants is rksvrya which is produced using the sequence lt71080 71100 71054 71100 71084 71100 71082 71100 71080 71100 71079 gt
Special Conjuncts The glyphs ksa and llam are often shown as independent letters in Siddham chartsThe kṣa represents conjuncts of different consonant letters and llam represents conjuncts of geminate con-sonants Based upon the UCS encoding model they are not independent letters but conjuncts They are tobe represented using the following sequences = lt71054 71100 71084 gt (compare Devanagari ksa= ltक ष gt) = lt71081 71100 71081 71102 gt It may be practical to definethese conjuncts as named character sequences (see Section 5)
Default Representation It is expected that a basic Siddham font will contain the necessary glyphs forproperly representing conjuncts A consonant cluster is depicted with the appropriate conjunct glyph only ifsuch a glyph is available in the font If the conjunct glyph is unavailable the bare consonants in the clusterare depicted using their full forms combined with a visible While these depictions of conjuncts maynot be used in Siddham orthography they are necessary for the representation of the script in plain text Inorder to render Siddham text appropriately in the absence of distinct glyphs for any possible conjunct it isrecommended that a set of condensed forms of letters in conjunct-initial and non-initial positions be availableso that arbitrary conjuncts may be rendered in the vertical orientation used in Siddham orthography
48 Consonant-Vowel Combinations
Vowel signs combine with consonant letters and conjuncts as in Devanagari Some consonant shapes aremodified when they are written with vowels (eg 71054 rarr when combining with 71090 ku)Some vowel signs are written as contextual forms when they occur with certain consonants For example 71090 rarr and 71091 rarr when combining with71058 71061 71064 71065 71067 71073 71074 71082 When written with 71080 these signs have an additional contextual form ru and rū Additional details will be provided in the formal proposal
49 Invocations
The following characters are used as invocations
1 71104 This sign is written at the beginning of a text (see figures 6 and 37) It has a vertically-oriented glyphic variant (see figure 32) The sign is traditionally analyzed as being formed fromthe lower portion of 71042 Palaeographically71104 corresponds to characters used in other Indic scriptswhere it represents the Sanskrit invocation वि त svasti ldquomay it be auspiciousrdquo

2 om The sacred syllable om is represented using the sequence lt71048 71101 gt rarr 7104871101 Adistinct om character is not attested for Siddham
410 Punctuation
The following punctuation characters are proposed for encoding
1 71105 and 71106 The is used for marking the end of sentences and othershort text sections while is used at the end of paragraphs and larger text blocks (seefigures 31 39 40) The and are written as and in lsquoinformalrsquo Japanesewriting these are to be treated as glyphic variants and managed through fonts The Siddham dandā-sare graphically distinct from those of Devanagari and are therefore proposed for separate encoding
2 71107 and 71108 These signs are used for marking boundariesbetween words Usage of is shown in figure 37 The isshown in figures 39 40 41 where it is used alongside 71105 and 71106
3 Middle dot Word and phrase separation is also indicated using a middot middle dot (see figure 38) Thischaracter is to be written using the already encoded middot +00B7
Other punctuation marks are attested but more information about their usage is required (see Section 5)
411 Section Marks
Several characters are used for marking the end of text sections Twelve such characters are proposed forencoding 71112 71113 71114 71115 71116 71117 71118 71119 71120 71121 71122 71123
Of these the first ten are attested in various Siddham manuscripts (see figures 31 32 34) The last two areattested in a manuscript (see figure 38) The71121 is often used to indicate the completionof an entire text while the others are used at the ends of paragraphs Several other similar characters maybe attested (see Section 5)
412 Repetition Marks
The 71109 71110 and 71111 are used forindicating the repetition of text They are written after the text that is to be repeated Questions regardingthe usage of repetition marks are stated in Section 5
The 71109 has the glyphic variants and (see figures 31 32 34) Based uponits graphical shape and function it is likely that is derived from an Indic digit lsquo2rsquo(compare Devanagari २) A common practice in manuscript traditions of northern India is to indicate therepetition of words using digits The digit used indicates the number of repetitions eg lsquo2rsquo for twice lsquo3rsquofor thrice As there are no attested digits for Siddham it appears that the original link between and a numeric value was forgotten and the original digit for lsquo2rsquo was preserved as a symbol Thisexplains the serialized usage of in the text excerpt in figure 35 for indicating a triplereading ie Devanagari ldquo २ २rdquo instead of ldquo ३rdquo for hūm hūm hūm)

Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
The 71110 is used in the vertical version of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra shown infigure 5 An excerpt of the Sūtra with the repetition marks highlighted is shown in figure 36 Here the markappears after71079 ya (3rd character) another ya (7th character) and 71080 ra (10th character) The mark promptsthe reader to parse the text as ldquojaya jaya vijaya vijaya smara smarardquo It is possible that is used only in a vertical environment This is supported by the accompanying Japanese annotationwhich glosses71110 using〱 +3031
The71111 is shown in several Siddham manuals It is proposed for encoding becauseit is a graphically-distinct character
413 Digits
Siddham does not have a traditional set of digits (see Section 5)
414 Editorial Marks
Siddham manuscripts contain editorial marks such as those used for indicating the insertion or deletion oftext The characters and are used for marking deletions (see figure 34) Another character is a caret-like insertion mark that is written below the baseline to indicate the insertion of text These editorial marksare not unique to Siddham and are used in various Indic manuscript traditions These characters should berepresented using already-encoded characters with similar functions (see Section 5)
415 Pedagogical Characters
There are several pedagogical characters used for describing Siddham letters in script manuals Some ofthese are discussed below These characters may be candidates for encoding but additional research isrequired regarding their usage and suitability for encoding as per the UCS encoding model (see Section 5)
Character Strokes Siddham manuals describe elemental character strokes that are used for writing letters(see figure 62) Some of these are described below
1 myō-ten The stroke is the initial mark made when a brush is pressed upon a surface for writingany Siddham letter (see the stroke order in figures 63 and 64) It is known in Japanese as命点 myō-ten ldquolife markrdquo The myō-ten corresponds to the Chinese simple stroke (點 diǎn ldquodotrdquo) which isencoded in the UCS as+31D4
2 a-ten The stroke is shown in some historical and modern Siddham handbooks as a dependentvowel sign of 71040 (see figures 19 60 61) or as a lsquovariationrsquo of the letter (see figure 12) For thisreason it is called ア点 a-ten ldquoa markrdquo in Japanese It is a horizontally elongated form of myō-tenThe a-ten is not a true lsquovowel signrsquo but a portion of the top-stroke or mātrā (Sans मा ा) inherent ineach consonant letter
3 gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is known in Japanese as 仰月点 gyōgatsu-ten ldquomoon-viewing markrdquoand in Sanskrit as अधच ardhacandra ldquohalf-moonrdquo It is the foundational stroke of the sign 71101 - which is produced by writing 71102 with gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is considered荘厳 shougon (Sans अलकार alamkāra) ldquoadornmentrdquo or ldquodecorationrdquo in that it does not change thephonological value of The use of gyōgatsu-ten is shown in figure 65 where it appears asan independent graphical element

4 u-ten The stroke is known asウ点 u-ten ldquoumarkrdquo in Japanese It is used for forming characterslike71042 71044 and71045
5 en-ten The stroke is known as 円点 en-ten ldquocircle markrdquo in Japanese It is used for formingcharacters like 71102 and 71065
lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt
71050 lt 71051 lt 71052 lt 71053 lt 71054 lt 71055 lt
71056 lt 71057 lt 71058 lt 71059 lt 71060 lt 71061 lt 71062 lt 71063 lt
71064 lt 71065 lt 71066 lt 71067 lt 71068 lt 71069 lt 71070 lt 71071 lt
71072 lt 71073 lt 71074 lt 71075 lt 71076 lt 71077 lt 71078 lt 71079 lt 71080 lt
71081 lt 71082 lt 71083 lt 71084 lt 71085 lt 71086 lt 71087 lt 71088 lt
71089 lt 71090 lt 71091 lt 71092 lt 71093 lt 71094 lt
71095 lt 71096 lt 71097 lt 71100
The following characters have secondary weights 71101 71102 71103

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)
9 Figure 13 (row 11) shows the below-base character listed along with 71101 and 71102 What is this character Is this the gyōgatsu-ten

10 Michael Eversonrsquos chart for Siddham shows a character named ldquo -rdquo It is not a vowel sign but the pedagogical character gyōgatsu-ten described in Section 415 Ifthe gyōgatsu-ten is to be encoded should it be defined as a combining sign

Unattested vowel signs Dependent forms of 71052 and 71053 are as of yet unattested Space has been reserved in the code chart in the event that additional researchuncovers such characters
Graphical variants There are glyphic variants of vowel signs (see figures 12 and 19) which are to bemanaged through fonts
Alternate forms There is an alternate form for Normally this sign is written as 71097 The two-part form is also attested it is a combination of 71096 and 71087 in which the latter sign acts as a vowel-length mark
Nasalization The signs 71102 and 71101 are used for indicating nasalization
Visarga The sign 71103 represents post-vocalic aspiration (h) In Sanskrit phonology it indicatesan allophone of71085 or 71080 in word-final position
Ordering of multiple signs In certain cases such as when writing lsquoseed syllablesrsquo a base letter that iscombined with or may also be combined with eg 710417110171103 or 7110171103 āmh Insuch cases the should be written last lt71040 71101 71103 gt Rendering enginesshould recognize such sequences of combining marks as valid

Each consonant bears the inherent vowel a represented by71040 which is silenced using 71100 Variantforms of consonants are attested (see figures 13ndash17) these are to be managed at the font level
47 Consonant Conjuncts
Consonant clusters are written as conjuncts They are not encoded as independent characters Conjunctsare represented using which is written after each consonant in a cluster Siddham conjuncts arewritten vertically horizontally and as independent ligatures Additional details will be provided in theformal proposal

Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
There are traditional Chinese and Japanese tabulations for Siddham conjuncts One such classification sys-tem was described in the manual Xītaacuten Zigravejigrave (悉曇字記) by the Chinese monk Zhigrave-guǎng (智廣) (d 806)who organized the various possible cluster combinations of Siddham consonants into eighteen categories(see figure 42) Examples of several conjuncts are shown in figures 43ndash58
Shaping The shape of some consonants change when they occur in conjunct-initial position (eg 71054 rarr 71080 rarr repha) some are written using post-base forms when they are non-initial (eg 71079 rarr )These ligating forms are illustrated in figures 13ndash17 (column labeled ldquoin combinationrdquo) and figures 19ndash20
Depth Siddham conjuncts may represent clusters with large numbers of consonants For example a con-junct of six consonants is rksvrya which is produced using the sequence lt71080 71100 71054 71100 71084 71100 71082 71100 71080 71100 71079 gt
Special Conjuncts The glyphs ksa and llam are often shown as independent letters in Siddham chartsThe kṣa represents conjuncts of different consonant letters and llam represents conjuncts of geminate con-sonants Based upon the UCS encoding model they are not independent letters but conjuncts They are tobe represented using the following sequences = lt71054 71100 71084 gt (compare Devanagari ksa= ltक ष gt) = lt71081 71100 71081 71102 gt It may be practical to definethese conjuncts as named character sequences (see Section 5)
Default Representation It is expected that a basic Siddham font will contain the necessary glyphs forproperly representing conjuncts A consonant cluster is depicted with the appropriate conjunct glyph only ifsuch a glyph is available in the font If the conjunct glyph is unavailable the bare consonants in the clusterare depicted using their full forms combined with a visible While these depictions of conjuncts maynot be used in Siddham orthography they are necessary for the representation of the script in plain text Inorder to render Siddham text appropriately in the absence of distinct glyphs for any possible conjunct it isrecommended that a set of condensed forms of letters in conjunct-initial and non-initial positions be availableso that arbitrary conjuncts may be rendered in the vertical orientation used in Siddham orthography
48 Consonant-Vowel Combinations
Vowel signs combine with consonant letters and conjuncts as in Devanagari Some consonant shapes aremodified when they are written with vowels (eg 71054 rarr when combining with 71090 ku)Some vowel signs are written as contextual forms when they occur with certain consonants For example 71090 rarr and 71091 rarr when combining with71058 71061 71064 71065 71067 71073 71074 71082 When written with 71080 these signs have an additional contextual form ru and rū Additional details will be provided in the formal proposal
49 Invocations
The following characters are used as invocations
1 71104 This sign is written at the beginning of a text (see figures 6 and 37) It has a vertically-oriented glyphic variant (see figure 32) The sign is traditionally analyzed as being formed fromthe lower portion of 71042 Palaeographically71104 corresponds to characters used in other Indic scriptswhere it represents the Sanskrit invocation वि त svasti ldquomay it be auspiciousrdquo

2 om The sacred syllable om is represented using the sequence lt71048 71101 gt rarr 7104871101 Adistinct om character is not attested for Siddham
410 Punctuation
The following punctuation characters are proposed for encoding
1 71105 and 71106 The is used for marking the end of sentences and othershort text sections while is used at the end of paragraphs and larger text blocks (seefigures 31 39 40) The and are written as and in lsquoinformalrsquo Japanesewriting these are to be treated as glyphic variants and managed through fonts The Siddham dandā-sare graphically distinct from those of Devanagari and are therefore proposed for separate encoding
2 71107 and 71108 These signs are used for marking boundariesbetween words Usage of is shown in figure 37 The isshown in figures 39 40 41 where it is used alongside 71105 and 71106
3 Middle dot Word and phrase separation is also indicated using a middot middle dot (see figure 38) Thischaracter is to be written using the already encoded middot +00B7
Other punctuation marks are attested but more information about their usage is required (see Section 5)
411 Section Marks
Several characters are used for marking the end of text sections Twelve such characters are proposed forencoding 71112 71113 71114 71115 71116 71117 71118 71119 71120 71121 71122 71123
Of these the first ten are attested in various Siddham manuscripts (see figures 31 32 34) The last two areattested in a manuscript (see figure 38) The71121 is often used to indicate the completionof an entire text while the others are used at the ends of paragraphs Several other similar characters maybe attested (see Section 5)
412 Repetition Marks
The 71109 71110 and 71111 are used forindicating the repetition of text They are written after the text that is to be repeated Questions regardingthe usage of repetition marks are stated in Section 5
The 71109 has the glyphic variants and (see figures 31 32 34) Based uponits graphical shape and function it is likely that is derived from an Indic digit lsquo2rsquo(compare Devanagari २) A common practice in manuscript traditions of northern India is to indicate therepetition of words using digits The digit used indicates the number of repetitions eg lsquo2rsquo for twice lsquo3rsquofor thrice As there are no attested digits for Siddham it appears that the original link between and a numeric value was forgotten and the original digit for lsquo2rsquo was preserved as a symbol Thisexplains the serialized usage of in the text excerpt in figure 35 for indicating a triplereading ie Devanagari ldquo २ २rdquo instead of ldquo ३rdquo for hūm hūm hūm)
6
Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
The 71110 is used in the vertical version of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra shown infigure 5 An excerpt of the Sūtra with the repetition marks highlighted is shown in figure 36 Here the markappears after71079 ya (3rd character) another ya (7th character) and 71080 ra (10th character) The mark promptsthe reader to parse the text as ldquojaya jaya vijaya vijaya smara smarardquo It is possible that is used only in a vertical environment This is supported by the accompanying Japanese annotationwhich glosses71110 using〱 +3031
The71111 is shown in several Siddham manuals It is proposed for encoding becauseit is a graphically-distinct character
413 Digits
Siddham does not have a traditional set of digits (see Section 5)
414 Editorial Marks
Siddham manuscripts contain editorial marks such as those used for indicating the insertion or deletion oftext The characters and are used for marking deletions (see figure 34) Another character is a caret-like insertion mark that is written below the baseline to indicate the insertion of text These editorial marksare not unique to Siddham and are used in various Indic manuscript traditions These characters should berepresented using already-encoded characters with similar functions (see Section 5)
415 Pedagogical Characters
There are several pedagogical characters used for describing Siddham letters in script manuals Some ofthese are discussed below These characters may be candidates for encoding but additional research isrequired regarding their usage and suitability for encoding as per the UCS encoding model (see Section 5)
Character Strokes Siddham manuals describe elemental character strokes that are used for writing letters(see figure 62) Some of these are described below
1 myō-ten The stroke is the initial mark made when a brush is pressed upon a surface for writingany Siddham letter (see the stroke order in figures 63 and 64) It is known in Japanese as命点 myō-ten ldquolife markrdquo The myō-ten corresponds to the Chinese simple stroke (點 diǎn ldquodotrdquo) which isencoded in the UCS as+31D4
2 a-ten The stroke is shown in some historical and modern Siddham handbooks as a dependentvowel sign of 71040 (see figures 19 60 61) or as a lsquovariationrsquo of the letter (see figure 12) For thisreason it is called ア点 a-ten ldquoa markrdquo in Japanese It is a horizontally elongated form of myō-tenThe a-ten is not a true lsquovowel signrsquo but a portion of the top-stroke or mātrā (Sans मा ा) inherent ineach consonant letter
3 gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is known in Japanese as 仰月点 gyōgatsu-ten ldquomoon-viewing markrdquoand in Sanskrit as अधच ardhacandra ldquohalf-moonrdquo It is the foundational stroke of the sign 71101 - which is produced by writing 71102 with gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is considered荘厳 shougon (Sans अलकार alamkāra) ldquoadornmentrdquo or ldquodecorationrdquo in that it does not change thephonological value of The use of gyōgatsu-ten is shown in figure 65 where it appears asan independent graphical element
7

4 u-ten The stroke is known asウ点 u-ten ldquoumarkrdquo in Japanese It is used for forming characterslike71042 71044 and71045
5 en-ten The stroke is known as 円点 en-ten ldquocircle markrdquo in Japanese It is used for formingcharacters like 71102 and 71065
lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt
71050 lt 71051 lt 71052 lt 71053 lt 71054 lt 71055 lt
71056 lt 71057 lt 71058 lt 71059 lt 71060 lt 71061 lt 71062 lt 71063 lt
71064 lt 71065 lt 71066 lt 71067 lt 71068 lt 71069 lt 71070 lt 71071 lt
71072 lt 71073 lt 71074 lt 71075 lt 71076 lt 71077 lt 71078 lt 71079 lt 71080 lt
71081 lt 71082 lt 71083 lt 71084 lt 71085 lt 71086 lt 71087 lt 71088 lt
71089 lt 71090 lt 71091 lt 71092 lt 71093 lt 71094 lt
71095 lt 71096 lt 71097 lt 71100
The following characters have secondary weights 71101 71102 71103

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)
9 Figure 13 (row 11) shows the below-base character listed along with 71101 and 71102 What is this character Is this the gyōgatsu-ten

Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
There are traditional Chinese and Japanese tabulations for Siddham conjuncts One such classification sys-tem was described in the manual Xītaacuten Zigravejigrave (悉曇字記) by the Chinese monk Zhigrave-guǎng (智廣) (d 806)who organized the various possible cluster combinations of Siddham consonants into eighteen categories(see figure 42) Examples of several conjuncts are shown in figures 43ndash58
Shaping The shape of some consonants change when they occur in conjunct-initial position (eg 71054 rarr 71080 rarr repha) some are written using post-base forms when they are non-initial (eg 71079 rarr )These ligating forms are illustrated in figures 13ndash17 (column labeled ldquoin combinationrdquo) and figures 19ndash20
Depth Siddham conjuncts may represent clusters with large numbers of consonants For example a con-junct of six consonants is rksvrya which is produced using the sequence lt71080 71100 71054 71100 71084 71100 71082 71100 71080 71100 71079 gt
Special Conjuncts The glyphs ksa and llam are often shown as independent letters in Siddham chartsThe kṣa represents conjuncts of different consonant letters and llam represents conjuncts of geminate con-sonants Based upon the UCS encoding model they are not independent letters but conjuncts They are tobe represented using the following sequences = lt71054 71100 71084 gt (compare Devanagari ksa= ltक ष gt) = lt71081 71100 71081 71102 gt It may be practical to definethese conjuncts as named character sequences (see Section 5)
Default Representation It is expected that a basic Siddham font will contain the necessary glyphs forproperly representing conjuncts A consonant cluster is depicted with the appropriate conjunct glyph only ifsuch a glyph is available in the font If the conjunct glyph is unavailable the bare consonants in the clusterare depicted using their full forms combined with a visible While these depictions of conjuncts maynot be used in Siddham orthography they are necessary for the representation of the script in plain text Inorder to render Siddham text appropriately in the absence of distinct glyphs for any possible conjunct it isrecommended that a set of condensed forms of letters in conjunct-initial and non-initial positions be availableso that arbitrary conjuncts may be rendered in the vertical orientation used in Siddham orthography
48 Consonant-Vowel Combinations
Vowel signs combine with consonant letters and conjuncts as in Devanagari Some consonant shapes aremodified when they are written with vowels (eg 71054 rarr when combining with 71090 ku)Some vowel signs are written as contextual forms when they occur with certain consonants For example 71090 rarr and 71091 rarr when combining with71058 71061 71064 71065 71067 71073 71074 71082 When written with 71080 these signs have an additional contextual form ru and rū Additional details will be provided in the formal proposal
49 Invocations
The following characters are used as invocations
1 71104 This sign is written at the beginning of a text (see figures 6 and 37) It has a vertically-oriented glyphic variant (see figure 32) The sign is traditionally analyzed as being formed fromthe lower portion of 71042 Palaeographically71104 corresponds to characters used in other Indic scriptswhere it represents the Sanskrit invocation वि त svasti ldquomay it be auspiciousrdquo

2 om The sacred syllable om is represented using the sequence lt71048 71101 gt rarr 7104871101 Adistinct om character is not attested for Siddham
410 Punctuation
The following punctuation characters are proposed for encoding
1 71105 and 71106 The is used for marking the end of sentences and othershort text sections while is used at the end of paragraphs and larger text blocks (seefigures 31 39 40) The and are written as and in lsquoinformalrsquo Japanesewriting these are to be treated as glyphic variants and managed through fonts The Siddham dandā-sare graphically distinct from those of Devanagari and are therefore proposed for separate encoding
2 71107 and 71108 These signs are used for marking boundariesbetween words Usage of is shown in figure 37 The isshown in figures 39 40 41 where it is used alongside 71105 and 71106
3 Middle dot Word and phrase separation is also indicated using a middot middle dot (see figure 38) Thischaracter is to be written using the already encoded middot +00B7
Other punctuation marks are attested but more information about their usage is required (see Section 5)
411 Section Marks
Several characters are used for marking the end of text sections Twelve such characters are proposed forencoding 71112 71113 71114 71115 71116 71117 71118 71119 71120 71121 71122 71123
Of these the first ten are attested in various Siddham manuscripts (see figures 31 32 34) The last two areattested in a manuscript (see figure 38) The71121 is often used to indicate the completionof an entire text while the others are used at the ends of paragraphs Several other similar characters maybe attested (see Section 5)
412 Repetition Marks
The 71109 71110 and 71111 are used forindicating the repetition of text They are written after the text that is to be repeated Questions regardingthe usage of repetition marks are stated in Section 5
The 71109 has the glyphic variants and (see figures 31 32 34) Based uponits graphical shape and function it is likely that is derived from an Indic digit lsquo2rsquo(compare Devanagari २) A common practice in manuscript traditions of northern India is to indicate therepetition of words using digits The digit used indicates the number of repetitions eg lsquo2rsquo for twice lsquo3rsquofor thrice As there are no attested digits for Siddham it appears that the original link between and a numeric value was forgotten and the original digit for lsquo2rsquo was preserved as a symbol Thisexplains the serialized usage of in the text excerpt in figure 35 for indicating a triplereading ie Devanagari ldquo २ २rdquo instead of ldquo ३rdquo for hūm hūm hūm)

Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
The 71110 is used in the vertical version of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra shown infigure 5 An excerpt of the Sūtra with the repetition marks highlighted is shown in figure 36 Here the markappears after71079 ya (3rd character) another ya (7th character) and 71080 ra (10th character) The mark promptsthe reader to parse the text as ldquojaya jaya vijaya vijaya smara smarardquo It is possible that is used only in a vertical environment This is supported by the accompanying Japanese annotationwhich glosses71110 using〱 +3031
The71111 is shown in several Siddham manuals It is proposed for encoding becauseit is a graphically-distinct character
413 Digits
Siddham does not have a traditional set of digits (see Section 5)
414 Editorial Marks
Siddham manuscripts contain editorial marks such as those used for indicating the insertion or deletion oftext The characters and are used for marking deletions (see figure 34) Another character is a caret-like insertion mark that is written below the baseline to indicate the insertion of text These editorial marksare not unique to Siddham and are used in various Indic manuscript traditions These characters should berepresented using already-encoded characters with similar functions (see Section 5)
415 Pedagogical Characters
There are several pedagogical characters used for describing Siddham letters in script manuals Some ofthese are discussed below These characters may be candidates for encoding but additional research isrequired regarding their usage and suitability for encoding as per the UCS encoding model (see Section 5)
Character Strokes Siddham manuals describe elemental character strokes that are used for writing letters(see figure 62) Some of these are described below
1 myō-ten The stroke is the initial mark made when a brush is pressed upon a surface for writingany Siddham letter (see the stroke order in figures 63 and 64) It is known in Japanese as命点 myō-ten ldquolife markrdquo The myō-ten corresponds to the Chinese simple stroke (點 diǎn ldquodotrdquo) which isencoded in the UCS as+31D4
2 a-ten The stroke is shown in some historical and modern Siddham handbooks as a dependentvowel sign of 71040 (see figures 19 60 61) or as a lsquovariationrsquo of the letter (see figure 12) For thisreason it is called ア点 a-ten ldquoa markrdquo in Japanese It is a horizontally elongated form of myō-tenThe a-ten is not a true lsquovowel signrsquo but a portion of the top-stroke or mātrā (Sans मा ा) inherent ineach consonant letter
3 gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is known in Japanese as 仰月点 gyōgatsu-ten ldquomoon-viewing markrdquoand in Sanskrit as अधच ardhacandra ldquohalf-moonrdquo It is the foundational stroke of the sign 71101 - which is produced by writing 71102 with gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is considered荘厳 shougon (Sans अलकार alamkāra) ldquoadornmentrdquo or ldquodecorationrdquo in that it does not change thephonological value of The use of gyōgatsu-ten is shown in figure 65 where it appears asan independent graphical element

Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
4 u-ten The stroke is known asウ点 u-ten ldquoumarkrdquo in Japanese It is used for forming characterslike71042 71044 and71045
5 en-ten The stroke is known as 円点 en-ten ldquocircle markrdquo in Japanese It is used for formingcharacters like 71102 and 71065
lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt
71050 lt 71051 lt 71052 lt 71053 lt 71054 lt 71055 lt
71056 lt 71057 lt 71058 lt 71059 lt 71060 lt 71061 lt 71062 lt 71063 lt
71064 lt 71065 lt 71066 lt 71067 lt 71068 lt 71069 lt 71070 lt 71071 lt
71072 lt 71073 lt 71074 lt 71075 lt 71076 lt 71077 lt 71078 lt 71079 lt 71080 lt

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)

410 Punctuation
The following punctuation characters are proposed for encoding
1 71105 and 71106 The is used for marking the end of sentences and othershort text sections while is used at the end of paragraphs and larger text blocks (seefigures 31 39 40) The and are written as and in lsquoinformalrsquo Japanesewriting these are to be treated as glyphic variants and managed through fonts The Siddham dandā-sare graphically distinct from those of Devanagari and are therefore proposed for separate encoding
2 71107 and 71108 These signs are used for marking boundariesbetween words Usage of is shown in figure 37 The isshown in figures 39 40 41 where it is used alongside 71105 and 71106
3 Middle dot Word and phrase separation is also indicated using a middot middle dot (see figure 38) Thischaracter is to be written using the already encoded middot +00B7
Other punctuation marks are attested but more information about their usage is required (see Section 5)
411 Section Marks
Several characters are used for marking the end of text sections Twelve such characters are proposed forencoding 71112 71113 71114 71115 71116 71117 71118 71119 71120 71121 71122 71123
Of these the first ten are attested in various Siddham manuscripts (see figures 31 32 34) The last two areattested in a manuscript (see figure 38) The71121 is often used to indicate the completionof an entire text while the others are used at the ends of paragraphs Several other similar characters maybe attested (see Section 5)
412 Repetition Marks
The 71109 71110 and 71111 are used forindicating the repetition of text They are written after the text that is to be repeated Questions regardingthe usage of repetition marks are stated in Section 5
The 71109 has the glyphic variants and (see figures 31 32 34) Based uponits graphical shape and function it is likely that is derived from an Indic digit lsquo2rsquo(compare Devanagari २) A common practice in manuscript traditions of northern India is to indicate therepetition of words using digits The digit used indicates the number of repetitions eg lsquo2rsquo for twice lsquo3rsquofor thrice As there are no attested digits for Siddham it appears that the original link between and a numeric value was forgotten and the original digit for lsquo2rsquo was preserved as a symbol Thisexplains the serialized usage of in the text excerpt in figure 35 for indicating a triplereading ie Devanagari ldquo २ २rdquo instead of ldquo ३rdquo for hūm hūm hūm)
6
Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
The 71110 is used in the vertical version of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra shown infigure 5 An excerpt of the Sūtra with the repetition marks highlighted is shown in figure 36 Here the markappears after71079 ya (3rd character) another ya (7th character) and 71080 ra (10th character) The mark promptsthe reader to parse the text as ldquojaya jaya vijaya vijaya smara smarardquo It is possible that is used only in a vertical environment This is supported by the accompanying Japanese annotationwhich glosses71110 using〱 +3031
The71111 is shown in several Siddham manuals It is proposed for encoding becauseit is a graphically-distinct character
413 Digits
Siddham does not have a traditional set of digits (see Section 5)
414 Editorial Marks
Siddham manuscripts contain editorial marks such as those used for indicating the insertion or deletion oftext The characters and are used for marking deletions (see figure 34) Another character is a caret-like insertion mark that is written below the baseline to indicate the insertion of text These editorial marksare not unique to Siddham and are used in various Indic manuscript traditions These characters should berepresented using already-encoded characters with similar functions (see Section 5)
415 Pedagogical Characters
There are several pedagogical characters used for describing Siddham letters in script manuals Some ofthese are discussed below These characters may be candidates for encoding but additional research isrequired regarding their usage and suitability for encoding as per the UCS encoding model (see Section 5)
Character Strokes Siddham manuals describe elemental character strokes that are used for writing letters(see figure 62) Some of these are described below
1 myō-ten The stroke is the initial mark made when a brush is pressed upon a surface for writingany Siddham letter (see the stroke order in figures 63 and 64) It is known in Japanese as命点 myō-ten ldquolife markrdquo The myō-ten corresponds to the Chinese simple stroke (點 diǎn ldquodotrdquo) which isencoded in the UCS as+31D4
2 a-ten The stroke is shown in some historical and modern Siddham handbooks as a dependentvowel sign of 71040 (see figures 19 60 61) or as a lsquovariationrsquo of the letter (see figure 12) For thisreason it is called ア点 a-ten ldquoa markrdquo in Japanese It is a horizontally elongated form of myō-tenThe a-ten is not a true lsquovowel signrsquo but a portion of the top-stroke or mātrā (Sans मा ा) inherent ineach consonant letter
3 gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is known in Japanese as 仰月点 gyōgatsu-ten ldquomoon-viewing markrdquoand in Sanskrit as अधच ardhacandra ldquohalf-moonrdquo It is the foundational stroke of the sign 71101 - which is produced by writing 71102 with gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is considered荘厳 shougon (Sans अलकार alamkāra) ldquoadornmentrdquo or ldquodecorationrdquo in that it does not change thephonological value of The use of gyōgatsu-ten is shown in figure 65 where it appears asan independent graphical element
7
Preliminary Proposal to Encode Siddham in ISOIEC 10646 Anshuman Pandey
4 u-ten The stroke is known asウ点 u-ten ldquoumarkrdquo in Japanese It is used for forming characterslike71042 71044 and71045
5 en-ten The stroke is known as 円点 en-ten ldquocircle markrdquo in Japanese It is used for formingcharacters like 71102 and 71065
lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)

The 71110 is used in the vertical version of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra shown infigure 5 An excerpt of the Sūtra with the repetition marks highlighted is shown in figure 36 Here the markappears after71079 ya (3rd character) another ya (7th character) and 71080 ra (10th character) The mark promptsthe reader to parse the text as ldquojaya jaya vijaya vijaya smara smarardquo It is possible that is used only in a vertical environment This is supported by the accompanying Japanese annotationwhich glosses71110 using〱 +3031
The71111 is shown in several Siddham manuals It is proposed for encoding becauseit is a graphically-distinct character
413 Digits
Siddham does not have a traditional set of digits (see Section 5)
414 Editorial Marks
Siddham manuscripts contain editorial marks such as those used for indicating the insertion or deletion oftext The characters and are used for marking deletions (see figure 34) Another character is a caret-like insertion mark that is written below the baseline to indicate the insertion of text These editorial marksare not unique to Siddham and are used in various Indic manuscript traditions These characters should berepresented using already-encoded characters with similar functions (see Section 5)
415 Pedagogical Characters
There are several pedagogical characters used for describing Siddham letters in script manuals Some ofthese are discussed below These characters may be candidates for encoding but additional research isrequired regarding their usage and suitability for encoding as per the UCS encoding model (see Section 5)
Character Strokes Siddham manuals describe elemental character strokes that are used for writing letters(see figure 62) Some of these are described below
1 myō-ten The stroke is the initial mark made when a brush is pressed upon a surface for writingany Siddham letter (see the stroke order in figures 63 and 64) It is known in Japanese as命点 myō-ten ldquolife markrdquo The myō-ten corresponds to the Chinese simple stroke (點 diǎn ldquodotrdquo) which isencoded in the UCS as+31D4
2 a-ten The stroke is shown in some historical and modern Siddham handbooks as a dependentvowel sign of 71040 (see figures 19 60 61) or as a lsquovariationrsquo of the letter (see figure 12) For thisreason it is called ア点 a-ten ldquoa markrdquo in Japanese It is a horizontally elongated form of myō-tenThe a-ten is not a true lsquovowel signrsquo but a portion of the top-stroke or mātrā (Sans मा ा) inherent ineach consonant letter
3 gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is known in Japanese as 仰月点 gyōgatsu-ten ldquomoon-viewing markrdquoand in Sanskrit as अधच ardhacandra ldquohalf-moonrdquo It is the foundational stroke of the sign 71101 - which is produced by writing 71102 with gyōgatsu-ten The stroke is considered荘厳 shougon (Sans अलकार alamkāra) ldquoadornmentrdquo or ldquodecorationrdquo in that it does not change thephonological value of The use of gyōgatsu-ten is shown in figure 65 where it appears asan independent graphical element

4 u-ten The stroke is known asウ点 u-ten ldquoumarkrdquo in Japanese It is used for forming characterslike71042 71044 and71045
5 en-ten The stroke is known as 円点 en-ten ldquocircle markrdquo in Japanese It is used for formingcharacters like 71102 and 71065
lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)
9 Figure 13 (row 11) shows the below-base character listed along with 71101 and 71102 What is this character Is this the gyōgatsu-ten

10 Michael Eversonrsquos chart for Siddham shows a character named ldquo -rdquo It is not a vowel sign but the pedagogical character gyōgatsu-ten described in Section 415 Ifthe gyōgatsu-ten is to be encoded should it be defined as a combining sign

lsquoHeadlessrsquo Letters Some Japanese treatises on Siddham offer explanations about the phonological prop-erties of Siddham consonants by using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters which are the regular consonants written with-out the top-stroke (myō-ten Sans mātrā) One such work the Shittan Bunsho (悉曇聞書) of Jiun Sonja(慈雲尊者) (1718ndash1804) expounds upon the alphasyllabic and alphabetic natures of Siddham consonantsby using lsquoheadlessrsquo letters Jiun explains that removing the top-stroke of 71054 produces the lsquoheadlessrsquo form in which the inherent vowel is absent ka rarr k According to this view the inherent vowel a iscontained in the top-stroke and eliminating it produces an alphabetic form of a letter Secondly when thislsquoheadlessrsquo ka is combined with a 71100 as 71100 the remaining consonantal value is removed k rarr Oslash Inthis case the essentially eradicates the entire letter A table of lsquoheadlessrsquo letters is given by Jōgon(淨嚴) (1639ndash1702) in his Shittan Sanmitsushō ( 710857108871102三密鈔) which is presented here in figure 59
While lsquoheadlessrsquo forms of Siddham consonants would be required for accurately representing Jiunrsquos ShittanBunsho they are to be considered as glyphic variants of regular letters and are to be managed through fonts
416 Word Ligatures
A bījāksara or bīja ldquoseed syllablerdquo may be written such that the constituent characters are joined to forma highly-stylized ligature (see figures 67 68 69 70) For example the word 710757106471100 phat (lt71075 71064 71100 gt) may be written as phat A more complex example is a bīja of Acala (Sans अचल Chi不動明王 Buacutedograveng Miacutengwaacuteng Jap Fudō Myōō) which is a ligature formed by joining71101 hām and71101 māmthe last two syllables of his mantra into a monogram written as or or hāmmām
These types of ligatures cannot be represented in plain text using characters proposed for encoding Theyare to be considered calligraphic innovations and managed at the presentation level through the applicationof font features or text attributes
417 Collation
The primary collating order for Siddham is as follows
71040 lt 71041 lt 71042 lt 71043 lt 71044 lt 71045 lt 71046 lt 71047 lt 71048 lt 71049 lt

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)
9 Figure 13 (row 11) shows the below-base character listed along with 71101 and 71102 What is this character Is this the gyōgatsu-ten

10 Michael Eversonrsquos chart for Siddham shows a character named ldquo -rdquo It is not a vowel sign but the pedagogical character gyōgatsu-ten described in Section 415 Ifthe gyōgatsu-ten is to be encoded should it be defined as a combining sign

5 Questions
Below are some questions regarding the encoding of additional Siddham characters
1 Named character sequences The glyphs ksa and llam are conjuncts that have symbolic sig-nificance Should named character sequences be defined for these glyphs as was done for The sequences may be defined as follows
SIDDHAM LETTER KSHA1158E 115BC 115ABSIDDHAM LETTER LLAM115A9 115BC 115A9 115BC
2 Digits There is no traditional set of Siddham digits However figure 18 shows ldquoBonji numeralsrdquo thatare similar to Devanagari digits Are these ldquonumeralsrdquo modern innovations Should they be encoded
3 and These punctuation marks are used in the palm-leaf manuscript of the PrajntildeāpāramitāHṛdaya Sūtra from the Hōryū-ji temple Are they distinct characters The glyph appears to be aglyphic variant of 71106 is it The glyph may be analyzed as two characters surrounding a 71103 is it
4 Avagraha Devanagari versions of the Prajntildeāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra and other texts show the use ofऽ +093D The avagraha is used for marking the elision of word-initialअ a in Sanskrit as a result of sandhi when the preceding word ends with the vowels ए e or ओ o egśuddho rsquoham is written in Devanagari as श ो ऽहम (from श ः śuddhah + अहम aham) Is this characterattested in any Siddham manuscripts of these texts
5 Repetition marks Additional research is required in order to determine if the three repetition markshave distinctive functions or if their usage is specific to certain environments or certain regional Sid-dham traditions For instance 71109 appears in Chinese sources which are pre-sented as left-to-right text while71110 appears in Japanese sources and in verticaltext Is usage of these repetition marks restricted to certain regional traditions Also are there textsthat show the use of 71111 Is there any information about this character
6 Section marks In addition to the section marks that are proposed for encoding there may be othersimilar characters attested in Siddham records If such characters are found should they be encodedseparately or unified with proposed section marks that are graphically similar Also there are differentforms of 71119 that having varying numbers of arcs compare the form with twoarcs in figure 33) with the three-arc form in figure 34 and the four-arc form in figure 32 Shouldthese forms with plusmn1 arc be treated as distinct characters The 71120 is proposed forencoding because it is distinct from in the number of arcs that it possesses
7 71121 The 71121 is presently classified as a lsquosection markrsquo However based uponits graphical structure it is less lsquoornamentalrsquo than other section marks It may also be functionallydistinct from the section marks Should this character be encoded as a form of punctuation instead ofas a section mark Is it related to the character described in item 3 above
8 Pedagogical characters The pedagogical characters described in Section 415 are used in Siddhammanuals and are required by users who produce such materials There is a precedent in the UCSfor encoding character strokes and other such pedagogical characters eg the CJK radicals and thecharacters of the lsquoCJK Strokesrsquo block (U+31C0U+31EF)
9 Figure 13 (row 11) shows the below-base character listed along with 71101 and 71102 What is this character Is this the gyōgatsu-ten

10 Michael Eversonrsquos chart for Siddham shows a character named ldquo -rdquo It is not a vowel sign but the pedagogical character gyōgatsu-ten described in Section 415 Ifthe gyōgatsu-ten is to be encoded should it be defined as a combining sign
