| The Tibetan encoding systems are needed for writing Tibetan fonts on a computer -- or long time ago on a typewriter. The future for Tibetan encoding is Unicode, but until then there's a need for various encoding systems.
| |
|
| |
|
| The most classical one is [[Wylie Encoding]], created by Professor Wylie. This is used in Tibetan books and similar places for encoding Tibetan words using plain ASCII. As an example, dharma spelled out in Wylie is <code>chos</code>.

| A variation of this is [[ACIP Encoding]] that introduced a standard for Sanskrit Tibetan letters.

| Various Tibetan fonts use different encoding schemes with multiple characters to represent Tibetan letters. These are not interchangeable, if you use for example [[TCC]] fonts you can't switch to [[Nitartha-Sambhota]] fonts, and vice versa.
| |
| | |
| Long term Unicode Tibetan will become the general standard for Tibetan letters, but this has not yet happened due to lack of good Unicode Tibetan font sets.
| |
| | |
| Note that the encoding schemes are different from the pronunciation rules. There are very few standards concerning how to spell out pronunciation, of which the [[ACIP Standards for Simplified Tibetan]] is one standard of many.
