Minister for Forest, Kannada and Culture Arvind Limbavali has said that the department has asked the Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy to take steps to include Tulu script developed by it with much concern in the Unicode mapping list. A release here said that the process of including Tulu script in the Unicode map will gain momentum with this move. Mr. Limbavali said that several rounds of discussions had taken place about framing a Tulu script in the last decade. The academy has now accepted the script prepared in consultation with experts in Tulu language and script. The government has approved a proposal to include the script in the Unicode map, he said.
