Hello,
I'm interested in using the more recent Unicode Hebrew versions on Web sites. These
versions have about 30 more symbols for Hebrew Bible text than the original Unicode
from the early 90s.

You will find examples of Devanagari on the ICU locale explorer pages..

The encoding should be UTF-8 by default or you can change it at the
bottom of the page.
Hindi especialy has an extensive but incomplete list of translat

It's a text encoding form that happens to be smaller than many
alternatives, and that's a little complex to decode. So?

Anyone know of any Devanagari documents (Sanskrit, Hindi, Nepali) on the Web

I am not interested in Devanagri sites using font based encodings.
