History
The CS and CSX character set was defined during an informal discussion over a beer between John Smith, Dominik Wujastyk and Ronald E. Emmerick during the World Sanskrit Conference in Vienna, 1990. A few months later they were endorsed by several other Indologists including Harry Falk, Richard Lariviere, G. Jan Meulenbeld, Hideaki Nakatani, Muneo Tokunaga, and Michio Yano.[5]
