The 1978 Tamil Script Reform

In 1978 the government of Tamil Nadu ordered the replacement of symbols on the left side of the table (shown in the VaigaiAA typeface) by symbols on the right (shown in Noto Sans, a modern unicode typeface).

The order included two additional substitutions which are not shown here because the public did not adopt them.
