Scripts Set

The Unicode standard (and the Nisus Writer Express search engine) does not have tools for
searching for text in Armenian, Bengali, Bopomofo, Braille, Buhid, Cherokee, Ethiopic, Gaelic,
Georgian, Hanunoo, Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Malayalam, Mongolian, Myanmar, Ogham, Oriya, Runic,
Sinhala, Syriac, Tagalog, Tagbanwa, Tamil, Telugu, Thaana, Tibetan, Vietnamese, and Yi. However,
as explained in Finding and/or replacing Non-Roman Characters above, you can look up the
Unicode blocks for those scripts in the Characters palette (choose Special Characters from the
bottom of the Edit menu, choose Code Tables from the View pop-up menu inside the Characters
palette) as illustrated in Figure 167, and enter them directly in a PowerFind Pro expression.
