[Icon Request] alphabet-devanagari

Icon name

alphabet-devanagari (suggested tags: devanagari, hindi, marathi, nepali, sanskrit, indic, script, writing system)

Use cases

1. Font library app for type designers: each font style has a "Writing systems" panel listing the scripts the font supports, one row per script with an icon, the script name, the glyph coverage percentage and the number of supported languages. Devanagari is one of the most requested scripts in multi-script type families (Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit), but it has no icon, while Bangla already has alphabet-bangla.
2. Filtering languages by writing system: a dropdown filters the supported languages of a font by script, with the script icon next to each option.
3. Locale switchers and i18n settings: marking the Hindi, Marathi or Nepali locale in a language picker, and tagging font families by supported script in type foundry catalogs.

Design ideas

A single character, consistent with alphabet-bangla, alphabet-thai and alphabet-korean.

Suggested character: अ (a, the first letter of the script). Keeping the horizontal headline (shirorekha) as the top stroke makes it recognizable as Devanagari at 24px, and distinguishes it from Bangla.

Alternative: क (ka, the first consonant), which has a simpler shape below the headline.
