Subject: Inserting character 'க்ஷ' in GNU Emacs
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 22:43:35 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABG-yt2vN2MyhaYRKwaaTd=4TcyY2bFMQn2SbRj+fUsnOwFQgg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have fonts-lohit-taml-classical installed on Ubuntu 14.10. I am
trying to input the character 'க்ஷ' in GNU Emacs 24.5.1. This
character is a combination of 'க' and 'ஷ' which are the only
characters available in Tamil Unicode.
http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0B80.pdf
If I copy this character 'க்ஷ' from a UTF-8 website and insert the
same in a file (say, test.txt) using Gedit, it copies fine. I use
Monospace font. I am able to open the same file in GNU Emacs, and it
shows the character as 'க்ஷ'. Using C-u C-x = in this character
displays the following:
=== க்ஷ viewed in GNU Emacs ===
position: 2101 of 2106 (100%), column: 0
character: க (displayed as க) (codepoint 2965, #o5625, #xb95)

(U+0000..U+FFFF))

Character code properties: customize what to show
name: TAMIL LETTER KA

There are text properties here:

=== END ===
How can I input this character directly in GNU Emacs? I have a custom
layout defined using quail:

Appreciate any help in this regard,
