UAST: Unicode Aware Saṃskṛta Transliteration
[!IMPORTANT] For implementation in more than 10 scripts, visit https://uast.dev for web-version or https://github.com/aneri0x4f/uast-cli for CLI version. This Rust implementation does the following conversions:
- [d]: UAST-IO/IAST to देवनागरी
- [i]: देवनागरी to IAST
- [g]: देवनागरी to ગુજરાતી
UAST - A tool for transliterating and typing Saṃskṛta in the easiest computer, language, and human-friendly way.

Devanāgarī is the writing system that is adapted by various languages like Sanskrit (IAST: saṃskṛta). International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST) is a transliteration scheme for romanisation of Sanskrit language. IAST makes use of diacritics to represent various characters. On a computer, these are represented using Unicode standard which differs from how the Sanskrit language behaves at a very fundamental level. This results in an issue that is encountered while designing typesetting software for devanāgarī and IAST. We hereby discuss the problems and provide a solution that solves the issue of incompatibilities between various transliteration and encoding schemes.
