Whoa, hang on here! Official WHAT? u+0b85 is definitely in Unicode:

        U+0B85 TAMIL LETTER A

It is _NOT_ an "inherent a" vowel. It is a stand-alone independent vowel "a".

There is no "inherent a" vowel encoded in Unicode, and there has been no
official request for such a thing by anyone. This entire discussion has
been speculation.

I wanted to make sure that nobody out there is trying to use U+0B85 as an
"inherent a" representation. It's just the independent vowel.
