I have one question.  Emacs tries hard to find a grapheme
boundary to put cursor on.  For instance, in the above (c)
string, when you put cursor on the second character പ
(U+D2A) and type C-f, the cursor moves to ലോ (U+D32 U+D4B),
and the next C-f moves the cursor to ഡ (U+D21).

But, in gedit, "പ്‌ലോ" is treated as one cluster and you
can't put cursor between "പ്‌" and "ലോ".

Which is convenient for Malayalam user?
