Unicode is the universal character encoding standard that provides a unique number for every character across all writing systems. For Tamil, Unicode range U+0B80–U+0BFF contains all Tamil characters. Unicode was first published in 1991 by the Unicode Consortium. Tamil was included in the initial Unicode 1.0 release, making it one of the first Indic scripts to be encoded. The standard has evolved to include additional Tamil characters and symbols over subsequent versions. Unicode Tamil is now the standard for all modern computing, web pages, mobile devices, and digital communications. It ensures Tamil text displays correctly across different platforms, browsers, and applications without font dependencies. Characteristics Unicode Tamil uses logical character ordering with separate code points for consonants, vowels, and vowel signs. It supports proper rendering of complex Tamil ligatures through font-level OpenType features rather than precomposed glyphs. What is Bamini? Bamini is one of the most widely used Tamil font encodings, particularly popular in Sri Lanka and among the Tamil diaspora. It uses ASCII character positions to represent Tamil characters. Bamini was developed in the early 1990s as a practical solution for typing Tamil on computers before Unicode support became widespread. It became the de facto standard for Tamil publishing in Sri Lanka and was extensively used in newspapers, books, and official documents. Bamini encoding is still found in legacy documents, older websites, and archival materials. Many Tamil newspapers and publishers in Sri Lanka continue to maintain Bamini-encoded archives. Converting to Unicode is essential for modern accessibility.
