(eng) ALERT: We need 320 character slots for thamizh (tamil) language which is alloted only 128 character slots. Current allocation is not enough to hold all the alphabets and the encoding scheme is not simple to follow. This is an very urgent need. Otherwise the future thamizh (tamil) computer users will severly suffer.

(unicode) அபாய அறிக்கை இப்போதைய யூனிக்கோடில் தமிழுக்கு 320 இடங்கள் கட்டாயம் தேவை. தற்போதுள்ள 128 இடங்கள் எல்லா எழுத்துக்களுக்கும் போதுமானதா இல்லை என்பதும் அதற்கான சொல்லாக்க வழிமுறை எளிதாக இல்லை என்பதும் தான் இப்போதைய யூனிக்கோடை தமிழர்கள் மறுப்பதற்கான காரணம். இது ஒரு மிக உடனடித்தேவை. இதனை இப்போது நிறைவேற்றவில்லை என்றால் வருங்கால தமிழ் கணிப்பொறி பயனாளர்கள் மிக துன்புறுவர்.

  Hi,
  
  In Unicode system, Tamil has been allocated only 128 character positions. Unicode system is using
  iscii ( Central goverment's Indian lanaguge encoding standard).
  
  iscii has lot of bugs and also not-efficient for tamil (approxmately 3-times slower).
  
  please read below the articles and sign the petition. Tamil has already got lot of efficient encoding sytesm, which are already in use.
  
  Unicode is an international standard, So an efficient encoding system has to be used for tamil. So we have
  to raise our voice to get unicode to be
  re-constructed for tamil (Which is highly feasible) ...
  
  And don't forget, Pass it on ....
  
  In Tamil : http://www.kanithamizh.org/unicode-il-tamil.htm
  
  In English: http://www.tamil.net/people/sivaraj/tamil_unicode.html
