## Detailed Description

The QTsciiCodec class provides conversion to and from the Tamil TSCII encoding.

TSCII, formally the Tamil Standard Code Information Interchange specification, is a commonly used charset for Tamils. The official page for the standard is at http://www.tamil.net/tscii/

This codec uses the mapping table found at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/5180/tsciiset.html. Unfortunately Tamil uses composed Unicode. This might cause some trouble if you are using Unicode fonts instead of TSCII fonts.

The TSCII codec was contributed to Qt by Hans Petter Bieker <bieker@kde.org>. The copyright notice for his code follows:
