But, I was able to see the characters in the browser and in GNU Emacs when I tried to type. --- | and ubuntu mono in emacs, \-- This is the default font that I use in GNU Emacs. --- | When you move the cursor over it, does it become one large cursor | covering the whole thing (even though it is rendered incorrectly), or | does the cursor move over each piece of it individually? \-- The latter. The cursor moves over each piece individually. --- | If you do have to edit the font, I think it won't be as simple as adding | a character with a unicode codepoint. \-- I use xelatex to generate PDF from the input Tamil file, and it renders =E0=AE=B8=E0=AF=8D=E0=AE=B0=E0=AF=80 correctly in the output PDF.
