</div>Dandas may not be required for Malayalam language orthography but they<br>
are required for Sanskrit language orthography in Malayalam script.<br>
Hence all Indic fonts (including Tamil) should contain the danda<br>
characters.<br>
<br>
And AFAICS no Indic scripts have any other full stop distinct from the<br>
regular full stop. The regular full stop should not be removed in any<br>
Indic script font since people expect to use it. Recently I saw even<br>
Marathi books in Devanagari script that use it.<br>
