This  is how the  Unicode standard  expects implementations  to behave
when it comes to zw[n]j.

Since the chillus are on the way  to be encoded, why dont we wait till
the proper standards come out?

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.
