MCL Vaidehi is a popular Tamil Unicode font developed by the Government of Tamil Nadu, specifically under the Tamil Internet Government Organization (TIGO). Unlike phonetic layouts where keys are mapped based on English sound equivalents (e.g., pressing 'k' for 'க'), MCL Vaidehi utilizes a Typewriter-based Layout. This design mirrors the physical Tamil typewriter, making it instantly familiar to professional typists and those trained in traditional Tamil input methods.
