タミル文字

Tamil is a Unicode block containing characters for the Tamil, Badaga, and Saurashtra languages of Tamil Nadu India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Malaysia. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0B02..U+0BCD were a direct copy of the Tamil characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The デーヴァナーガリー文字  0900–097F , ベンガル文字  0980–09FF , グジャラート文字（グジャラーティー文字）  0A80–0AFF , グルムキー文字  0A00–0A7F , オリヤー文字  0B00–0B7F , テルグ文字  0C00–0C7F , カンナダ文字  0C80–0CFF and マラヤーラム文字  0D00–0D7F blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.

The Tamil script (tamiḻ ariccuvaṭi) is an abugida script that is used by the Tamil people in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and elsewhere, to write the Tamil language, as well as to write the liturgical language Sanskrit, using consonants and diacritics not represented in the Tamil alphabet. Certain minority languages such as Saurashtra, Badaga, Irula, and Paniya are also written in the Tamil script.
