Opt Subject: Tamil colon visarga missing from Unicode
Apparently a two-dot visarga is attested in Tamil, but the Tamil visarga 0B83 ஃ (aka. aytham) is quite different, as it's only historically a visarga. Examples of the two-dot visarga be seen on page 7 of L2/10-256R (http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2010/10256r-extended-tamil.pdf) and pages 2 and 3 of L2/10-407 (http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2010/10407-ext-tamil-follow2.pdf) The UTC should decide what character to recommend to use for the two-dot visarga in Tamil text. I can basically see two ways forward: 1. Suggest that someone write a proposal for the character. 2. Recommend that we use an existing character, such as U+0903 DEVANAGARI SIGN VISARGA or U+11303 GRANTHA SIGN VISARGA for the purpose, and officially add a ScriptExtensions property of Tamil to the character. Some user communities seem to have decided to use U+A789 MODIFIER LETTER COLON for this, which appears quite incorrect to me (according to the names list, it's for "Budu (Congo), Sabaot (Kenya), and several Papua New Guinea languages"). See e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843331
