Hello to everyone. I have a question about devanagari alphabet. Is it possible to get the unicodes of adjacent letters of devanagari or indic letters? Thank you for your helping.

Have you looked at www.unicode.org[^] ?

I am not sure what you are asking. If you mean the "half letters" or halantha/virama then sure why not. The way the letters appear on the screen in an editor depends on the rendering of that software only. Unicode standard just sets the letter codes and NOT the shapes.

For instance, if I have to write Kannada in Unicode, I would have to give the following sequence of characters - ka, na, virama, na, da which in code is 0x0c95, 0x0ca8, 0x0ccd, 0x0ca8, 0x0ca1. On screen the way na+virama+na appears depends on several things but the underlying character codes HAVE to be what I wrote else it WON'T read Kannada.

Just access them from the stream of wide characters. It's analogous to accessing a single byte ASCII character from a stream of single byte ASCII characters, with which we all are familiar.
