Simplified Tamil script or Reformed Tamil script refers to several governmental reforms to the Tamil script .

Tamil is a Unicode block containing characters for the Tamil, and Saurashtra languages of Tamil Nadu India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Malaysia. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0B82..U+0BCD were a direct copy of the Tamil characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard.
From the 11th century AD onwards the Tamil script displaced the Pallava-Grantha as the principal script for writing Tamil. [ 6 ] [ 2 ] In what is now Kerala , Vatteluttu continued for a much longer period than in Tamil Nadu by incorporating characters from Pallava-Grantha to represent Sanskrit loan words in early Malayalam .
The Pallava court of Mahendravarman I [2] replaced Vattezhuttu with two scripts: Tamil script and Pallava grantha to write Tamil and Sanskrit respectively. [3] Pallava grantha was also divided into early and late forms. Late Pallava grantha is the precursor to the Kawi script. [4]
When first published (version 1.0.0), Unicode made only limited stability guarantees. As such, the original Tibetan block was deleted in version 1.0.1 (and its space has since been occupied by the Myanmar block), and the original block for Korean syllables was deleted in version 2.0 (and is now occupied by CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A).
