Tamil Script Code for Information Interchange
Tamil Script Code for Information Interchange ( Tamil font encoding for information exchange, TSCII ) is a character set that is used for the encoding of the Tamil font in computer systems.
TSCII represents an extension of the ASCII character set
TSCII encodes the characters in the visual ( written ) order, as well as a Tamil typewriter. Unicode, however, has taken the logical encoding in ( spoken ) sequence of ISCII, in contrast to the procedure for Thai, where the national standard TIS -620 prejudged the visual order.
The government of the state of Tamil Nadu has its own standards ( TAB / TAM) introduced, but have found a less widespread. Many other encodings for Tamil, which each require a certain font, are still in use.
The free-text collection of Project Madurai uses the TSCII encoding, but has already begun to make a Unicode version available.
