Malayalam (Unicode block)

Malayalam is a Unicode block containing characters of the Malayalam script. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0D02..U+0D4D were a direct copy of the Malayalam characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.

History

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Malayalam block:

gollark: Just looking up the ten commandments quickly, fully two fifths of these are just bizarre narcissistic stuff about God.
gollark: Yes, quran also bad.
gollark: Probably some things considered conspiracy theories have been and are true, but it's also easy to make up wild theories about conspiracies and collusion, and people find it fun to do so, so tons of them are wrong.
gollark: The Bible is awful and includes random junk about whatever.
gollark: Do what you want as long as it doesn't harm others, anyway.
