Re: type in other language

This vastly depends on the context - for X11 see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg/K … ard_layout
The indian layout is "in" and supposed to provide "all Indian layouts" w/ "deva" (Devangari) being the default.

Re: type in other language

Ah, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruti_Dev
This looks like it's repurposing a regular QWERTY layout and you're not producing UTF-8 for Hindi, but the latin codes are represented w/ Hindi characters.

This is a purely visual thing and if eg. you're using it in discord or a browser will NOT produce hindi text on the other side, but a latin mess unless they use such font as well.
Locally, you'd simply configure the browser etc. to use such font, but again: that doesn't define what *others* will see.
