Then I think this is the problem. Tamil requires special support from
the font, as evidenced by this snippet from fontset.el:
(tamil ,(font-spec :registry "iso10646-1" :otf '(tml2 nil (akhn)))
,(font-spec :registry "iso10646-1" :otf '(taml nil (akhn))))
As you see, we request special OTF features, and thus by default will
not accept a font that doesn't have them. You can override that by
customizing the fontset via set-fontset-font.
Are you aware of any good Tamil fonts that support the Tamil
Supplemental block? I don't seem to be able to find any such fonts.

Yes, that's what produces charscript.el.
