0x61 (hex) in ASCII (lower case 'a' for the Latin alphabet),
Before unicode, devanagari fonts used the ASCII range (legacy fonts) -
however AFAIK there is no standardization in the mapping, though various
families of fonts had similar mapping.
see http://hindi-fonts.com/tools for converters from different mappings to
unicode.
So, ASCII to Unicode mapping for Devanagari will change based on the font
used.
