Most
of the additional letters used in Burushaski, Khowar and Torwali text
(staring with 07XX) were included in Unicode 5.1.0. If your operating system
does not provide support for Unicode 5.1.0, these letters will not be
displayed, or if displayed, will not join with other letters. However, for
testing purposes we made a copy of this font in which we assigned Urdu
Unicode to these letters. This allows Burushaski, Khowar and Torwali text to
be written using Urdu Unicode. The copy version of the font file can be
downloaded from
here.
The mapping table that specifies which of the Urdu Unicode has been assigned
which of the Burushaski, Khowar and Torwali letters can be downloaded from
