Questions people ask
How do I convert Unicode Tamil to TAB?
Paste the Unicode Tamil above with TAB picked. Copy the result into your document and set the font to TAB-Elango, or download the Word file.
Why would I need TAB text?
Older page layout and design programs, print shops and some office files still use TAB. They show Unicode Tamil with broken letters, but TAB text prints correctly in them.
The TAB result looks like English letters. Is it wrong?
No. That is how TAB stores Tamil. It shows as Tamil once the font is set to TAB.
Is my text or file uploaded?
No. Everything is converted in your browser on this device. Nothing you paste or open is sent to a server.
