Telugu (Unicode block)

Telugu is a Unicode block containing characters for the Telugu, Gondi, and Lambadi languages of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, India. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0C01..U+0C4D were a direct copy of the Telugu characters A1-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.

gollark: No, it's pretty compatible with actual-CC, it just has extra features.
gollark: CraftOS-PC Online kind of works, I guess.
gollark: This is really not very 1337 h4xx0r. I didn't even invent this.
gollark: It does crash, but you override printError temporarily.
gollark: It's not very practically useful. There are no longer sandboxing things implemented in bios.lua and if there were this would not get around them.
