In this case, this isn't something to be decided, the VCL algorithm that
assigns automatic mnemonics uses the form (~A-Z) for CJK.

The question is if Tamil users can activate with the keyboard the
mnemonic assigned to a Tamil character (with my es-LATAM keyboard
I can't).

I opened a new bug: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122663
Hopefully the explanation there is clear.
@Kadal: please take a look at the screeh shot attached to the bug.

Note that this bug is not so important, compared to the general state of
the Tamil UI translation (it has too many strings in English, in several
prominent places).
