Sinhala Unicode for HTML documents

[lakdiva]

There are many copies of 

http://ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/ltrl/services/feconverter/t1.html

online.  

What would be useful is to go one step beyond

and give for Sinhala something like what is given for Tamil in

https://vengayam.net/translate/tamil.html

i.e. display the Equivalent HTML Text that can be 

directly copied to a HTML document.

Does anyone know any such resource online for Sinhala

Thanks

With best regards

Kavan

It's difficult to find such a service. Just copy and paste Sinhala
text to a website like this.

Janaka, Thanks for that very useful link.   

I have two more Questions for which I need answers

1) The Default font size that Sinhala appears on my Google Chrome Browse slightly smaller in Sinhala සිංහල than Tamil தமிழ் and maybe English.
Why ? How can I set it to be the same.

2) Why is the Unicode Sinhala dhaa දා different to how it is written on our books and even our current currency notes as .
Also find that Tamil naa is also written differently in Unicode as னாand not .

See http://notes.lakdiva.org/ccgc/194xgvit/1947_gvi_10000r.html
Can they be written as it appears on currency notes with some optional Unicode text, script or font definition within the HTML ?.
Are there any changes needed to Unicode character set, or can issue be resolved within it's implementation. i.e. Improve default font implementation used by Windows, Chrome etc

Thanks Kavan

Unicode Sinhala dhaa is shown as දා only in iskoola pota, if you use other sinhala unicode font like un-bindumathi its shown as  .

It's because the default Tamil font is larger in Chome. If you use the font "Malithi web" for Sinhala it will be same in size as Tamil.

Thanks I find that Bashita and some other fonts do write dhaa correctly, 

but that is not the default fonts used by Browsers if no font is defined.  

Wish default font displayed properly.

How do I redefine defaults for my webpage including relative size, without 

needing to use a font tag each time I switch to Sinhala or Tamil.

        @font-face {

                font-family:LBhashita;

                src:url('fonts/LBhashita.ttf') format('truetype');

                unicode-range: U+0D80-0DFF;

                font-style: normal;

        }

        @font-face {

                font-family:jaffnaNormal;

                src:url('fontt/jaffnaNormal.ttf') format('truetype');

                unicode-range: U+0B80-0BFF;

        }

Allows me to redefine fonts to be used for Sinhala and Tamil range of unicode. 

How do I specify which to use for Bold

Thanks

Kavan
