Answer 1

The font of the respective Text field/ button or any element is to be changed to the respective font (i.e) Arial Unicode MS in this case.

It is the same as enabling other languages in the IDE. The same procedure of changing font is done to the corresponding element.

Answer 2

Use fonts that supports the required language.

For Tamil language, you can use Fonts like Latha.

You can install More Tamil Fonts and use that in Java

JLabel label = new JLabel("தமிழ்");
label.setFont(latha);
