Jungshik and Martin already voted, that
<span style='color:#00f'>ல</span>ெ
is perfectly valid HTML, and I assume the same holds for
ல<span style='color:#00f'>ெ</span>
But, seeing real-life user agents mishandle this, and being
confronted with task of writing a converter from legacy
Tamil encodings (in visual order), there is some temptation
to markup this as:
{INV}ெ<span style='color:#00f'>ல</span>
or respectively
<span style='color:#00f'>{INV}ெ</span>ல
With {INV} being the hypothetical, not-spacing-adding, invisible
consonant.
But
a) {INV} doesn't exist (so far)
and
b) The user agents I tested render {SPACE}ெ
with the misguided dotted circle.
So, I can easily withstand this temptation (for now).
Regards,
Peter Jacobi
