Understanding foreign fonts and HTML conversion

I was trying to convert a html page into epub book, but the output epub fonts are messed up. The source html has Tamil Unicode, I just saved the html page on my computer then I used Calibre to convert into epub (dragged .html file into Calibre and clicked on convert from zip to epub). Also, I embed unicode font (Latha) into epub, still I can't get back Tamil words (OS: macOS).

this is the page I converted (http://www.projectmadurai.org/pm_ete...ni0003_01.html)

On the other hand the same html can be converted into epub without messing the font using Sigil, but none of hyper link works in Sigil.

Pdf fonts

Also, I was trying to convert/copy tamil pdf files, but again I'm messing up with fonts.

Can anyone provide some source or idea; where can I get more info about this fonts like unicode/TSCII , how to find my source font (html/pdf) is unicode(utf-8/16/32)/TSCII or something else and also which one I need to have to work in my nook

thanks m8
