The Tamil block contains characters used in the Tamil script, which is used for writing the Tamil language, one of the oldest and most widely spoken Dravidian languages. The Tamil script is an abugida, where consonants are written with an inherent vowel sound that can be altered with diacritical marks. This block includes characters for vowels, consonants, and numerals, along with diacritics and punctuation marks. Tamil has a rich literary tradition that dates back over two thousand years, and its script is used in a variety of contexts, from classical literature to modern technology..
