Now see how to save Unicode Malayalam Text on Notepad.
Instead you see - Question marks, Blocks or garbage characters. Solution: When you try to save Malayalam content on Notepad, WordPad or some other application you didn't see Malayalam characters when you open the file again. Malayalam Content not saved in Notepad etc.

If you are using older windows OS like 95, 98, 2000, or XP then you have to install Malayalam Language pack also. Solution : Install Malayalam Unicode fonts on your computer system. Malayalam content Not displaying on MS-Word etc Application Your system Must have Malayalam Fonts (Unicode Malayalam Fonts), and Malayalam Language Pack (in Windows 7,8,10 it already installed with Operating System), But in older windows version like windows 95, 98, 2000, XP you have to installed it manually from Windows CD. To be able to see Malayalam Content there are some requirements your computer should fulfil in order to display Malayalam Text Properly. This is very often happened on Malayalam content websites like - Malayalam News websites or any other website that have Malayalam content on it. On screen instead of Malayalam characters. You might also like to see §3 (on p 4) for more details on the Malayalam dot reph.Sometimes you see garbage character like Square Boxes, Question Mark Sign, etc. But Bengali doesn't seem to have post-base VA unlike Malayalam so you may have to look out for that.įWIW I have attached a document (ODT and PDF) showing the desired rendering of the reph (using the e-Malayalam OTC font from the "Indolipi" package which hack-renders the Malayalam RA + Virama combination as the reph) and the equivalent Bengali sequences in two standard Bengali fonts. Why Bengali? Because it also has two part vowel signs ো ৌ like Malayalam ൊ ോ ൌ and the reph also. Would help in keeping the size of the font under check.ĭesired rendering of dot reph and comparison of Bengali syllable I'm not much knowledgeable about but isn't the feature tag for reph characters spelt as "reph" or "rphf" or Basically if you treat this 0D4E character equivalent to the cluster-initial RA + VIRAMA sequences of other Indic scripts, especially Bengali, I think it would be sufficient. I would only suggest that if you do use akhanda ligatures that you use composite glyphs instead of duplicating existing outlines. So I leave it to you people to decide how to implement this. That said, I myself am not knowledgeable about all this GPOS-GSUB thing - I'm more a Graphite person. After all, that is what GPOS is for, isn't it? To position combining marks properly? One solution is to use akhanda ligatures as Santosh says but that is just a hack. However, as Santosh says (and I already said) there will be a problem with the positioning. So probably you can just treat it like the reph of other scripts. The only difference is that Malayalam has a distinct character for this whereas in other scripts it is just RA + VIRAMA which is rendered as the reph. I am guessing that they are treating the dot_reph character just like any other reph in any Indic script - move it to the end of the syllable. One Microsoft engineer replied that they use reordering for this. I hope this is sufficient feedback for supporting this character which is important for old Malayalam orthography. DOT_REPH + GA + VIRAMA + GA etc) so you will have to be able to position this character above stacked consonant clusters. Note that most often it is found with doubled consonants (i.e. I think the e-Malayalam OTC font ( ) has pre-composed glyphs using this character on top of other consonants which might help you in positioning this character. See the original proposal bottom of page 3 and top of page 4. The special rendering is that it should be placed on top of the character *following* it.

Note that this character is a special rendering character (hence the dotted box around it in the code chart ). You might need to do some smart font programming to position the dot reph correctly.

As such it should be made available for full Unicode 6.0 (or 6.1) support. This character was encoded to support the old Malayalam orthography. Try to use 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Ģ. However I find that the Lohit Malayalam 2.5.1 release downloadable from does NOT provide support for 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH.Īs this is one of the three Malayalam characters encoded for Unicode 6.0 (see and search for 0D4E) it should also be supported. It was announced ( ) that the latest 2.5.1 version Lohit fonts support latest Unicode 6.0 characters.
