Problem is that it does not print tamil font clearly. I cannot read that
font. Eventhough I
installed tamil font in my system. What is way to print unicode character
in terminal ?
What terminal emulator are you using ? I have tried tamil characters on
both xterm (248) and gnome-terminal (2.28.1). Even if you set the
terminal emulator to UTF-8 mode, xterm just doesn't know tamil while
gnome-terminal doesn't use fixed width to display tamil characters which
is what seems like happening in your case. Try the following in the
command line,
echo -e "#\0340\0256\0205#"
If you notice that the tamil character is not between the '#' characters
but instead overlaps with one, thats the problem ur facing then. I don't
know of a solution to this, other than considering tamil characters to
take twice the width and leave a space between some tamil characters you
print.
