Questions people ask

How do I convert Unicode Tamil to TACE16?

Paste the Unicode Tamil above with TACE16 picked. Copy the result into your document and set the font to Latha, or download the Word file.

Why would I need TACE16 text?

Older page layout and design programs, print shops and some office files still use TACE16. They show Unicode Tamil with broken letters, but TACE16 text prints correctly in them.

The TACE16 result looks like English letters. Is it wrong?

No. That is how TACE16 stores Tamil. It shows as Tamil once the font is set to TACE16.

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.
