Bug Description

There is an error in default keyboard layout of the Language India>Malayalam, the key "q" in Malayalam layout(qwerty keyboard) prints "ൌ"(U+0D4C) symbol, also the same is printed with "Q" in Malayalam Lalitha Layout, But it should be printing "ൗ"(U+0D57)

          I have checked this on 10.04 and 11.04, I hope that this could be fixed easily , but it should be fixed in the default layout from 11.10

        { If you know malayalam thing of the meaning of word beauty(സൗന്ദര്യം, and its not സൌന്ദര്യം ,), also think of many other words ~all uses "ൗ" and not "ൌ"}

affects: ubuntu → scim (Ubuntu)

The Layout is based on India government standard. http://malayalam.kerala.gov.in/images/7/78/Inscript.jpg
And സൌന്ദര്യം is not a spelling mistake, but a writing style, quite popular now a days in digital space.
