Some Indian Languages presently use format control characters like Zero Width Joiner to form certain commonly used characters in the language. Since ZWJ (200D) is a prohibited character as per IDN related standards ( Nameprep/Stringprep), we have proposed explicit encoding for such characters. Some are already added to Unicode 5.0 ( Bengali Khanda TA) and some others are in the pipeline ( 6 Malayalam Chillu characters). A considerable number of words use these characters and I feel that revision of the standards to accomodate these characters is an immediate necessity.
