Ananthapadmanabha Rao had chosen shorthand, bookkeeping and typewriting as his specialisations. After completing his matriculation, he joined the Department of State Excise under the then Coorg Government. In recognition of his abilities, in the year 1930 the Coorg Government posted Ananthapadmanabha Rao to Vellore to get trained in shorthand. He learnt Kannada shorthand and later joined the Police Department as the first ever reporter specialising in Kannada Shorthand.[citation needed]
Coorg later became a Part C State and was granted the status of Independent State, for the first time forming an independent legislative assembly. Ananthapadmanabha Rao, was appointed as the Kannada Reporter in the Independent Coorg Legislative Assembly.[4]
In the year 1932, the Kannada Sahitya Parishat organised its 18th annual literature conference. Legendary scholar and poet, DV Gundappa was chosen as the president of the conference. Odlemane Aatmaram Shastri, Shenoy Master, DM Siddhalingaiah and others were part of the presiding committee. First in the line amongst the youth workers was Ananthapadmanabha Rao. Ananthapadmanabha Rao, drew the attention and appreciation of DVG, who inspired him to become a lifetime member of Kannada Sahitya Parishat. DVG handed over the left over funds of the conference and suggested Ananthapadmanabha Rao to establish a Kannada Sangha at Coorg. Thus, in the year 1932, with the blessings of DVG, the first ever Kodagu Kannada Sangha was established and started. Ananthapadmanabha Rao became the first Director of the sangha and in the later days he also served as its Secretary and Vice-President.[4]
Ananthapadmanabha Rao was also selected as the member of Kannada Sahitya Parishat's working committee and became the representative of the Coorg State. He conceptualised and organised the Vasanta Sahityotsava (the spring festival of literature) every year. In the name of this festival, many stalwarts of Kannada literature like BM Shri, TP Kailasam, GP Rajaratnam, AaNaKru, TaRaSu, Ta Su Shyama Rao, Shamba Joshi, Da Ra Bendre, Kuvempu, Shivarama Karanth, M Govinda Pai, and many more visited Coorg. Ananthapadmanabha Rao also invested his time in organising many other literary programmes like the Navaratri Utsava at the Madikeri Vedanta Sangha and Shrimadaanjaneya Temple, Ramotsava Literature festival and so on.[4]
During these days Ananthapadmanabha Rao, invited Masti Venkatesh Iyengar to Somwarpet for a literature programme. Masti agreed, however on a condition that he would visit the place only if there was a Kannada Sangha established. Ananthapadmanabha Rao, with the support of coffee planter Chandrappa, established the Somwarpet Kannada Sangha over night. Chakradana Murthy became the first Secretary. Eventually Masti Venkatesh Iyengar was welcomed graciously at Somwarpet. Ananthapadmanabha was later appointed as the Secretary of the Coorg wing of Sangeetha Nataka Academy[4]
People from different walks of life attended the Kannada Sahitya Sammelana (Literature Conference) held in 1932. As part of the event, Gamaka Bhageeratha Kalale Sampathkumaracharya performed Kaavya Vachana or Gamaka Vachana for 3 consecutive days. Inspired by this performance, Ananthapadmanabha Rao was drawn towards to the art of Gamaka. Until then, Ananthapadmanabha Rao was a Harikatha artiste. He had also composed the Jadabharatha Upakhayana (a piece of poetry) specifically for the Harikatha aspirants. Gamaka as a new art form drew his attention and interest. In the later days he got himself admitted as a pupil of Gamaka Vidwan Krishnagiri Krishna Rao and mastered the art of Gamaka. In the year 1942, he started to teach Gamaka to aspiring students and contributed to the development and survival of the art form. Ananthapadmanabha Rao had a special interest in Hindustani music ragas.[citation needed]
Poet D R Bendre was one of the biggest admirers of Ananthapadmanabha Rao as a Gamaki. On the occasion of Bendre's 50th birthday, he invited Ananthapadmanabha Rao to his house to perform Kavya Vachana and encouraged him. Rashtrakavi Kuvempu once told him, "You have the blessings of Krishnagiri Krishna Rao. You are just not a singer, but you are the cuckoo of Coorg (Kodagina Kogile)". Later, in the year 1983, Ananthapadmanabha Rao became the president of the first ever state level Gamaka Sammelana (Gamaka Conference) organised by the Karnataka Gamaka Kala Parishat. He was honoured with the title of Gamaka Rathnakara.[5]
In the year 2000, Madikeri Nagendra released "Yatiwara Banda Raghavendra" music album consisting of songs composed by Ananthapadmanabha Rao under his direction. While he was the singer and music composer of the Album, Tirumale Srinivas had composed the background music. Paneesh Rao had produced this music album under the Parimala Creations banner.[7]
The Shorthand Association of Karnataka was started on September 20, 1919, by T.N. Raghavachar, D.K. Ramachandraiah, and S.G. Narasimaiah. The three, who were experts in shorthand, called for a meeting of shorthand teachers and commerce institutes and together they decided to start the association to impart the knowledge of the art to students.
The association moved out to Cubbonpet briefly during the construction of Kandaya Bhavan and in 2015 they moved into the new building. The association, which today has over 1,500 members across the State, will be entering its centenary year in 2019 and preparations for the grand event have already started.

This document has been reviewed by Unicode members and other interested parties, and has been approved for publication by the Unicode Consortium. This is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference by other specifications.
A Unicode Standard Annex (UAX) forms an integral part of the Unicode Standard, but is published online as a separate document. The Unicode Standard may require conformance to normative content in a Unicode Standard Annex, if so specified in the Conformance chapter of that version of the Unicode Standard. The version number of a UAX document corresponds to the version of the Unicode Standard of which it forms a part.
In working on Unicode implementations, it is often useful to access the full content of the Unicode Character Database (UCD). For example, in establishing mappings from characters to glyphs in fonts, it is convenient to see the character scalar value, the character name, the character East Asian width, along with the shape and metrics of the proposed glyph to map to; looking at all this data simultaneously helps in evaluating the mapping.
Directly accessing the data files that constitute the UCD is sometimes a daunting proposition. The data is dispersed in a number of files of various formats, and there are just enough peculiarities (all justified by the processing power available at the time the UCD representation was designed) to require a fairly intimate knowledge of the data format itself, in addition to the meaning of the data.
Unibook is a wonderful tool to explore the UCD and in many cases is just the ticket; however, it is difficult to use when the task at hand has not been built-in, or when non-UCD data is to be displayed as well.
It is important to note that we are interested in exploring the content of the UCD, rather than in using the UCD data to process character streams. Thus, we are not concerned so much by the speed of processing or the size of our representation.
Our representation supports the creation of documents that represent only parts of the UCD, either by not representing all the characters, or by not representing all the properties. This can be useful when only some of the data is needed.
Our schema can be used to create and validate documents which are intended to represent properties of Unicode code points, blocks, named sequences, normalization corrections, standardized variants, CJK radicals and emoji sources. A document may represent the values actually assigned in a given version of the UCD, or it may represent a draft version of the UCD, or a private agreement on Private Use characters. The validity of a XML document with respect to the schema defined in this annex does not assert anything about the correctness of the values.
Our schema is defined using English. However, a useful subset of the validity constraints can be captured using a schema language, thereby simplifying the task of validating documents. We have chosen Relax NG [ISO 19757], in the compact syntax [ISO 19757 Amd1], as the schema language. It is important to stress that the schema which is defined in English imposes more constraints on the documents than can be validated with the Relax NG schema.
An important characteristic of Relax NG is that its schemas do not modify or augment the infoset of the documents. Therefore, it is possible to process our XML representation without using the schema. Also, the schema is relatively straightforward and can be converted mechanically to other schema languages.
While our XML representation is not intented to be used during processing of characters and strings, it is still a design principle for our schema to support the relatively efficient representation of the UCD. This is achieved by an inheritance mechanism, similar to property inheritance in CSS or in XSL:FO (see section 4.3 Group).
Many invariants impose constraints on the values of the different properties for a given code point. For example, if the value of the Numeric Type property is None, then the value of the Numeric Value property should be the empty string; and if the value of the Other Alphabetic property is true, then the value of the Alphabetic property should be true. Those invariants are not captured in the schema.
