What is Anjal-1?
Anjal-1 is a variant of the Anjal encoding with slight modifications to character mappings, used in specific versions of Anjal software.
History
Anjal-1 emerged as the Anjal software evolved, introducing minor changes to improve compatibility and address character mapping issues found in the original Anjal encoding.
Usage
Anjal-1 encoded documents are typically found in archives from users who upgraded their Anjal software. Converting to Unicode ensures these documents remain accessible.
Characteristics
Similar to Anjal but with adjusted mappings for certain characters to improve consistency and reduce ambiguity in text representation.
What is TAB?
TAB (Tamil Bilingual) encoding was developed for bilingual Tamil-English computing, allowing seamless mixing of both scripts in a single document.
History
TAB encoding was created in the early 1990s to address the need for bilingual document creation in Tamil Nadu's government and educational sectors where both Tamil and English are official languages.
Usage
TAB encoding was used in government offices, educational institutions, and businesses that required frequent Tamil-English document creation. Legacy systems may still contain TAB-encoded files.
