This is how the Unicode standard expects implementations to behave
when it comes to zw[n]j.
I don't understand. Are you saying all the applications which support
ZW[N]J in the middle of a word are incorrect implementations? If we
can have Latin and control characters in Malayalam why can't we have
ZW[N]J? Is it because only Malayalam needs it? I think there are other
languages like Persian depending on it.
Since the chillus are on the way to be encoded, why dont we wait till
the proper standards come out?
I don't think that is the right way, even if chillus get encoded we
need to support backward compatibility.
And it is precisely due to the zw[n]j problem that I have stopped
working on Malayalam l10n. In fact, I had got an elementary word list
to complie, but I conciously omitted all words with zw[n]j from the
list, and it worked.
If there could be a way to allow ZW[N]J in Malayalam this issue can be
solved. Lets think about upcoming issues when that comes.
Cheers
