Thank you for the detail. I'll work on it.

I'm using "Lohit Tamil" font (lohit_ta.ttf), and with it,
that character is correctly displayed. Which font are you
using for Tamil?

You can input it by typing "srii" in tamil-itrans.

Strange, both Emacs 23.3 and the latest trunk version works
well for them. Which version are you using?

I have no problem with inputting it by ucs-insert. That
character is ௦ (U+0BE6).

Again, Lohit Tamil font has no problem for them.

Within 2D table, I think we can show just one key
sequence. Which is more common/convenient; A or aa, I or ii, ...?
> 0BB4, ழ,
It seems that the above character can't be input with
tamil-itrans. What key is usually used for that character?
