Thaana

U+0780 – U+07BF   (1920–1983)

The Thaana range was introduced with version 3.0 of the Unicode Standard. Thaana (or Tana) is the right-to-left script used to write Dhivehi (or Divehi), the Indo-Aryan national language of the Maldives. You can see some real Dhivehi in the online newspaper Haveeru Daily. You can see some Unicode Thaana at Project Thaana : Unicode sample page.

Microsoft Windows incorporates support for Thaana Unicode from Windows XP onwards.

A Thaana Unicode keyboard layout for Mac OS X 10.2 can be downloaded from http://quinon.com/files/keylayouts/; it has been produced by Yusuke Kinoshita.

The characters that appear in the first column of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode fonts Code2000, Fixedsys Excelsior, Free Idg Serif, Free Serif, MPH 2B Damase, MV Boli, Mv Elaaf, Mv GroupX Avas, Mv Iyyu, Mv Lady Luck, Mv MAG Round, Mv Sega, Sun-ExtA, Thaana Unicode Akeh and TITUS Cyberbit Basic; and in the Unix Unicode font ClearlyU.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or WunderMoosen’s FontChecker.

If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0780.pdf.
