I can read at least Korean and Japanese fine on my Android Twitter. Also you can tap on the tweet button to move to the top right away (I admit it's not that obvious) . Twitter does not download extra data just because you scroll up. That is simply not how it works.

Yup support for devanagiri font is not there. Weirdly, i remember this not being the case on froyo, but on gingerbread its gone.

// Also, from your username, are you also a fellow nepali ?

Nepali/devnagari is not here in HTC too. Is there any work around to support nepali unicode in Android ?

I believe this is common in all android devices runnning gingerbread. What version are you running ?

Also, i asked r/andoid folks running ICS to check for the same, looks like ICS had added devanagiri suppport.
