卡纳达文

Kannada is a Unicode block containing characters for the Kannada and Tulu languages. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0C82..U+0CCD were a direct copy of the Kannada characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The 天城文  0900–097F , 孟加拉文  0980–09FF , 古吉拉特文  0A80–0AFF , 果鲁穆奇字母  0A00–0A7F , 奥里亚文  0B00–0B7F , 泰米尔文  0B80–0BFF , 泰卢固文  0C00–0C7F , and 马拉雅拉姆文  0D00–0D7F blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.

The Kannada alphabet is an abugida of the Brahmic family, used primarily to write the Kannada language, one of the Dravidian languages of southern India. Several minor languages, such as Tulu, Konkani, Kodava, and Beary, also use alphabets based on the Kannada script. The Kannada and 泰卢固文  0C00–0C7F scripts share high mutual intellegibility with each other, and are often considered to be regional variants of single script. Similarly, Goykanadi, a variant of Old Kannada, has been historically used to write Konkani in the state of Goa.
