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.
Characteristics
TAB encoding allocates specific byte ranges for Tamil characters while preserving standard ASCII for English, enabling true bilingual text processing.
What is Boomi?
Boomi is a Tamil font encoding named after the Tamil word for 'Earth', designed for desktop publishing applications.
History
Boomi was created for the Tamil publishing industry, particularly for use with desktop publishing software in the 1990s when professional Tamil typography required specialized fonts.
Usage
Boomi encoding is found in published materials, books, and magazines from Tamil publishers who used Boomi fonts for typesetting.
