Unicode has very powerful advantages and as an user, its time you and/or your
company switched over to Unicode computing, documenting and storing.
With UNICODE,
· The Tamil text communicated by you is straightaway readable in Tamil by your
recipients (using Win XP/2K or above). No need for them to install any font to read
your text in Tamil.
· In future, the Tamil documents created by you are straightaway available for further
computing/processing on them, no matter what operating system or application is
used for the processing. This way, the Tamil documents created by you are future-safe. There wont arise a need again to convert your documents to some other
encoding.
Also, the inherent capabilities of unicode coupled with the effective use of the
same by the Windows OS and certain applications allow you to achieve very
advanced Tamil computing like:
2. Sorting in Tamil (arranging in Tamil alphabetical order) in Excel, Access, MS-Word
tables etc. Data-filtering in Tamil too may be possible in MS-Excel.
4. Searching
in search engines in Tamil - Search engines (Google, Yahoo! etc.) support
Unicode and hence you can search in Tamil itself. For a screen snapshot depicting the
same, click here
6. MP3
Songs list in Tamil - You can have MP3 songs list in Tamil in Windows Media
Player and any other player which supports Unicode.
