Popular transliteration tool for Malayalam typing (*Varamozhi*) and popular font (*Anjali OldLipi*) are currently supporting Unicode 5.1 in windows. Recently (two or three days before) Microsoft announced their own tool for Malayalam typing which also supporting 5.1. Microsoft's default Karthika font for Malayalam also now supporting 5.1. But IE6 is not supporting unicode 5.1 even with supporting fonts.
Is dynamic reverse conversion at clientside using javascript possible? This way we could output UC5.1 to everything supporting it, and older / crappy browsers / OSes can display still correctly. Sure, it adds a JS dependency, but I do think we can require JS for that.
