Tigalari Unicode

Efforts are underway to make a comprehensive Tigalari Unicode proposal.

There have been a lot of people who have worked making a standardised Tigalari script. Despite this, Tigalari remains at a stage where it is not accurate or complete.

Tulu script has been called Tigalari in this proposal as this script was also used by the Kannada speaking Havyaka brahmans. The only evidence found so far for an appropriate name for this script has been Tigalari. I would therefore like to propose using the name Tigalari script instead of Tulu script.

If you are interested in collaborating, contributing, funding or knowing more about this, please feel free to contact me at vaishnavimurthy@gmail.com
