Dear All, I find it rather disappointing, that the the question of coloring the horizontal line of 't' attracts more attention, than the original question.
To re-iterate - in the original post, the string in question did consist of side by side characters, not ligated in any font known to me. And the legacy Tamil enocings have for obvious reasons no problem to style any single character. So, to promote Unicode usage, in a community, which partly sees ISCII unification as a conspiracy against the Dravidian languages, it would be very helpful to demonstrate, that everything that can be done with the legacy encodings, can also be done using Unicode. The most useful answers so far, were the assertions by Jungshik, Bruno and others, that the markup in http://www.jodelpeter.de/i18n/tamil/markup-uc.htm should be considered correct and, in an ideal user agent, render like the the TSCII encoded http://www.jodelpeter.de/i18n/tamil/markup-tscii.htm But I also assume, that ideal and reality will not match for years to come. It would be most interesting, if someone can point out a wordprocessor or even a rendering library (shouldn't Pango be the solution to everything?), which enables styling of individual Tamil letters.
