That was my first thought, but I notice in Praveen's link that chillu-k has no Unicode 5.0 representation. It's described as "not very common", so maybe this isn't a big deal, but is your thinking just to store (and transmit) the 5.1 code for chillu-k, while converting the rest to 5.0? Or is their some Malayalam typographical convention that is used now that we should honor instead?

Some fonts were used a method to draw chillu-k without unicode specification, that was same as other chillu construction ( 0D15, 0D4D, 200D - ka, virama, zwj). Zero width joiner in these definitions itself cause some problems in searching. Mediawiki not including zwj in its search result. Please check attachment. Usually search engines like google or yahoo also not including zwj in their result.
My note about IE6 is not correct. IE6 can render Unicode 5.1 chillu in normal pages. But some problem in editbox and title bar. (I am using ubuntu - I am not directly aware of this problem)
