I am using TeXShop - XeLaTeX on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. I used the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\begin{document}
அ
\end{document}
I got an error:
Undefined control sequence \UTF ...
Could anyone give some suggestions so that I can use Tamil unicode fonts as part of my LaTeX file.
You have to declare a font that covers Tamil; for instance on my machine I have InaiMathi; then polyglossia can take care of some aspects of Tamil.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\tamilfont{InaiMathi}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{tamil}
\begin{document}
அ
தமிழ்
\end{document}
The file must be saved as UTF-8 and processed with XeLaTeX.

Upvoting is the preferred way here to say "thank you" to users who helped you.{\fontspec{Arial Unicode MS}அ}.
