What are the disadvantages of using Unicode for Gurmukhi?

Unicode is a good solution for Punjabi – although it does have its downfalls: • Support for Unicode Gurmukhi has only just started to take off. People with older computers cannot take full advantage of this new technology. • Not all features of (older) Gurmukhi can be represented yet. This is not a problem for modern Punjabi. • Using Unicode Gurmukhi requires some readjustment in the way it is approached in comparison to font-based Gurmukhi. For example, you may have to use a different keyboard layout.
