Description of the new feature / enhancement

The Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara languages are spoken in central Australia. The orthography of these languages require the following four special characters: ṯ ṉ ḻ ṟ.

Currently only ṯ is available through Quick Accent as part of the Middle Eastern Romanisation set. The other three characters are not provided.

Can I request that these be added?

Note: These characters, plus more, are also used in the romanization of Tamil. I wouldn't be opposed to having "Tamil Romanization" added instead, as it would fulfil the objective of getting these characters into Quick Accent. However, I don't know enough about Tamil romanization to put forward a complete proposal for that.

Scenario when this would be used?

Relevant to those who need to enter text in Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara
