Dear Anuradha

Thank you for the links and introducing my site to your friends.

The problem I find is the "TEXT" data will not be compatible with other Operating Systems.
This is simply because the SLS 1134 -  unicode do not have all the sinhala characters in its matrix.

This is the only issue I have.
We all got to join and make voice to include all individual characters into the SLS 1134.

Just beause a keyboard having a key cap character locations will not image the language  without the OS support
If any OS supports a particular language you can use any keyboard to access it.
Key caps are just a guide line for the humans.
You can now understand how the public is fooled by our  IT guys.

Best

Donald
