Tamil is a Unicode block containing characters for the Tamil, and Saurashtra languages of Tamil Nadu India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Malaysia. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0B82..U+0BCD were a direct copy of the Tamil characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Telugu ...
Tamil All Character Encoding. Appearance. Tamil All Character Encoding (TACE16) is a scheme for encoding the Tamil script in the Private Use Area of Unicode, implementing a syllabary -based character model differing from the modified- ISCII model used by Unicode's existing Tamil implementation. [ 1 ][ 2 ]
In Unicode 5.1, named sequences were added for all Tamil consonants and syllables. Unicode 5.1 also has a named sequence for the Tamil ligature SRI ( śrī ), ஶ்ரீ, written using ஶ ( śa ). The name of this sequence is TAMIL SYLLABLE SHRII and is composed of the Unicode sequence U+0BB6 U+0BCD U+0BB0 U+0BC0.
65 characters, including DEL. All belong to the common script. 1 Control-C has typically been used as a "break" or "interrupt" key. 2 Control-D has been used to signal "end of file" for text typed in at the terminal on Unix / Linux systems. Windows, DOS, and older minicomputers used Control-Z for this purpose.
Indian Standard Code for Information Interchange (ISCII) is a coding scheme for representing various writing systems of India. It encodes the main Indic scripts and a Roman transliteration. The supported scripts are: Bengali–Assamese, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu.
Tamil has a numeric prefix for each number from 1 to 9, which can be added to the words for the powers of ten (ten, hundred, thousand, etc.) to form multiples of them. For instance, the word for fifty, ஐம்பது (aimpatu) is a combination of ஐ (ai, the prefix for five) and பத்து (pattu, which is ten).
TSCII encodes the characters in visual (written) order, paralleling the use of the Tamil Typewriter. Unicode, instead, uses the logical order encoding strategy for Tamil, following ISCII, in contrast to the case of Thai, where the visual order encoding grandfathered by TIS-620 was adopted.
Moore, Lisa (2019-02-08), "B.11.10.1.2 Comment on spelling of 11FD8 character name", UTC #158 Minutes, Consensus: Change the name of U+11FD8 from TAMIL SIGN UZHAAKKU to TAMIL SIGN UZHAKKU. ^ Proposed code points and characters names may differ from final code points and names
