Hello,

It is proposed that the five pure consonants (Chillu characters) in Malayalam
( )be given separate code positions in Malayalam Unicode block. In ISCII based applications, three keys are used to form each of these characters as shown below.

These characters are used/occur widely in Malayalam writing (about 10% in normal writing).

Also NUKTA (NUK) is not a character in the Malayalam Script and not represented in Malayalam Unicode.

I would like to have expert opinion on this.
