What is TACE-16?

TACE-16 (Tamil All Character Encoding) was formulated as a 16-bit encoding scheme specifically created to represent every single one of the 247 Tamil glyphs with its own unique, discrete 16-bit code point.

While Unicode adopted an alphabetic consonant + vowel sign combining model (similar to other Indic scripts), TACE assigns single pre-composed code points to all UyirMei combinations. The Government of Tamil Nadu recognized Unicode as the primary standard and TACE-16 as an alternate national standard for specialized linguistics.
