The text above is based upon a CTML (Cuneiform Texts MarkUp Language) xml page found at: http://www.elamit.net/ctml/
Developed by Basello Gian Pietro, this site is absolutely fantastic!

This text is from the first link on that page, “Darius Bisotun §§1-6”

My thanks to Tom Gewecke who found this link for the complete Behistun inscriptions in PDF format at Case Western Reserve University: http://www.cwru.edu/UL/preserve/stack/Sculptures.html

This page on the evolution of writing features cuneiform: http://dsuper.net/~elehoczk/history.htm
(At the bottom of the page is a link for an on-line Old Hungarian Runic transliterator, too.)

Crystalinks has a page on their site called The Stone Tablets of Cyrus and Darius at: http://www.crystalinks.com/cyrustablets.html

An Achaemenid Royal Inscription can be seen at: http://indoeuro.bizland.com/project/script/oldpe1.html

Old Persian texts: http://www.avesta.org/op/op.htm

Old Iranian Languages and Scripts web site includes an Old Persian Cuneiform font (non-Unicode) and keyboard layout: http://iranianlanguages.com/oldiranian/

Note, according to King and Thompson (1907), “The division-wedge is always written on the rock as 𐏓, never as 𐏐.”

So, the first line above would appear as:
