The problem is with your mapping file.
since you have rules for
a[  and a[{ , the program will find out the shortest match. ie, while
reading the ascii encoded text, it will see a[ and immediately the
rule will be applied. The remaining text is {, for {, there is no
rules in the map file and it will be used as such in output.
If you write rules for each consonant+vowel combination, the rule file
will be big. Instead write the rules as follows
a=ய
t=வ
[=ு
[{=ூ
{=ூ
