Correcting some facts:
(In reply to Shriramana Sharma from comment #4)
probably because nobody writes Samvruthokaram nowadays.
I myself use it in daily use and I know a number of people using it. Bill
boards in street using this is not rare. Agreed the usage is minimal.
Cibu and
I were specifically discussing updates to the Unicode chapter on Malayalam
discussing Samvruthokaram and because of that we have come across this
problem.
Great. Hope you will discuss/share with communities.
However, I do not understand on what basis you people considered it
appropriate to introduce a new glyph in the font. Lohit fonts (which are
used as system display fonts for Indic in most modern distros) are not the
correct forum to bring about script reform or to invent new glyphs as part
of a script.
Lohit Malayalam is not the system default font for ml in any distros I know. It
is packaged in most of the distros.
I would leave it to the font maintainer to decide on this. I am ok with keeping
the glyph or removing it.
