Oriya is a Unicode block containing characters for the Oriya, Khondi, and Santali languages of Orissa state, India. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0B01..U+0B4D were a direct copy of the Oriya characters A1-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The [BLOCK:devanagari], [BLOCK:bengali], [BLOCK:gujarati], [BLOCK:gurmukhi], [BLOCK:tamil], [BLOCK:telugu], [BLOCK:kannada] and [BLOCK:malayalam] blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.
