[New-bugs-announce] [issue40543] Tamil locale is using outdated encoding

[Muthu A]

New submission from Muthu A <ezhillang at gmail.com>:

Tamil locale (TA_IN, TA_SL, TA_SG, TA_MY) is using outdated encoding of TSCII. Tamil community is widely using UTF-8 encoding.
Further, the 'locale' standard library package in Python3 should be updated with these strings.

Should the maintainers desire assistance on this task, as a native speaker of the language, I can propose a patch or recommed other native speakers for this task.
