Preparing Unicode Tamil for DCI + Tml + Ismail
DCI + Tml + Ismail is a combined option that groups several related legacy output mappings under one label. This page takes Unicode Tamil and rewrites it as DCI + Tml + Ismail text, so you can hand it to something that still expects that format. Language and wording do not change; only the stored characters do.
What to expect from the result
Legacy output only becomes Tamil when the right font is applied to it. To give you something concrete, this converter stores தமிழ் in DCI + Tml + Ismail as jkpH;, வணக்கம் as tzf;fk; and நன்றி as ed;wp. For the sample word தமிழ், this option produced jkpH;, the same codes as Diamond and Dinak. The grouped label identifies a target character mapping; it does not translate your text.
Converting step by step
Put your Unicode Tamil in the input box and run the conversion. Start with a short paragraph so you can check the result in the program that needs it. The counters under each box help confirm that nothing was dropped.
Check it where it will be used
The only real test of legacy output is the program that will use it. Paste a few words there, set the font to DCI + Tml + Ismail, and read the Tamil. If letters are missing or swapped, check that the font name matches the format. Pay special attention to pure consonants, long vowels and joined letters.
Typical situations
This is usually a delivery step, not a writing step. You write and edit in Unicode, convert at the end, and send the DCI + Tml + Ismail file on. If the recipient later accepts Unicode, you can drop the conversion entirely.
A few practical tips
Start small, compare, then scale up. Always copy from the original rather than retyping, because retyping can change the exact characters a legacy format expects. If a file combines more than one font, convert the pieces separately. Finally, clear the boxes before the next document.
Why the Unicode copy still matters
Treat the DCI + Tml + Ismail text as a delivery copy. Unicode is the version you can edit, search and share safely, and it is easy to produce a fresh legacy copy whenever you need one. Editing legacy text directly is the surest way to introduce small errors.

Unicode to DCI + Tml + Ismail: common questions
Why is the name written as DCI + Tml + Ismail?
Because the option groups the DCI, Tml and Ismail output mapping available in the selector. Use it only when the receiving workflow names this format.
Is there a reverse page for this format?
This site offers the Unicode to DCI + Tml + Ismail direction. Keep your Unicode text as the master so you can regenerate the legacy copy whenever you need it.
What about a scanned PDF or an image of Tamil text?
The converter works on text, not pictures. An image or scanned PDF has to go through text extraction or OCR before there is anything to convert.
How accurate is it?
It follows the mapping built into the page and handles ordinary Tamil well. No converter is perfect for every rare character, so a quick proofread is always worth it.
Is it safe to paste a private document here?
The converter works inside your browser, which is a good sign for privacy, but use your own judgement. If a document is truly sensitive, convert a small portion first and clear both boxes when you finish.
What causes a few wrong characters in an otherwise good conversion?
Rare letters, symbols and conjunct forms are where formats differ most. Convert the problem word on its own to see whether the issue is the source text or the format.
Do I have to register to use this converter?
No registration is needed. It is a free online tool; open the page, paste, convert, copy.
