Here you can see the beginning of the Tamil character set: "ஂஃஅஆஇஈஉஊஎஏஐஒஓஔ…".
Do you know the jokes "If you can see it,…"? Well, what you see right now is the Web application. So…
Tamil writing system is so popular that nearly all modern systems which support Unicode supports it by default. Why do you think I could write it (I did not install anything to support Tamil, of course) and you think you could not?
All you need it to enter the text. Of course you should save your page in one of Unicode UTFs, but practically it should be UTF-8. As the HTML text does not have to be prefixed with the BOM, the encoding should be prescribed in the HTTP-EQUIV (in a
<meta> element, child of the
<head> element):
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
