I asked for technical issues related to computer encoding, not yet more insistence on the specialness and uniqueness of Tamil. I've got a Jewish colleague who will happily spend hours asserting to you that the Hebrew alphabet is the only one that is of direct divine origin, and he will also provide you with illustrated citations of Jewish grammarians demonstrating the relationship of Hebrew letters to the shape of the mouth and, yes, places of articulation. This is all very interesting as a cultural phenomenon, but nothing to do with computer encoding.
