Screenshot of me drafting this post on mobile. The keyboard is regular QWERTY, but the word suggestions are in Tamil with the current suggestion showing "Thamizh" (the Tamil spelling of Tamil) in the corresponding script

On the plus side I tweaked a few settings and can now emit writing in தமிழ் 😁️
