Using Tamil unicode strings efficiently in python

string = "தமிழ்"
print(list(string))

Output:

['த', 'ம', 'ி', 'ழ', '்']

Normally, how python reads the unicode strings, this seems like python did not recoganize properly and let we see how tamilstring helps to handle this

from tamilString import String
string = "தமிழ்"
string = String(string)

Output:

['த', 'மி', 'ழ்']

output shows that using tamilstring helps to handle tamilstring unicodes more effectively.
