[issue40543] Tamil locale is using outdated encoding

[Ammar Askar]

Hi Muthu, thanks for reporting this! Looks like this is related to issue20087 
whereby the X11 locale data for TA_IN is using TSCII but the glibc supported 
file has the UTF-8 alias.

Pending a resolution to that bug, I think your best course of action would be 
to try to get this corrected upstream in x11, the code is here:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/blob/master/nls/locale.alias.pre#L1078

and their issue tracker is here:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues


Assuming that it gets accepted upstream, it should be simple enough to 
regenerate the locale module to use it.

[issue40543] Tamil locale is using outdated encoding

[Muthu A]

New submission from Muthu A :

Tamil locale (TA_IN, TA_SL, TA_SG, TA_MY) is using outdated encoding of TSCII. 
Tamil community is widely using UTF-8 encoding.
Further, the 'locale' standard library package in Python3 should be updated 
with these strings.

Should the maintainers desire assistance on this task, as a native speaker of 
the language, I can propose a patch or recommed other native speakers for this 
task.
