If you look at the page Naena cited, you'll see that he conflates
Unicode and OpenType -- the page is titled "Unicode misunderstands
Singhala script" -- and also that he considers the Unicode encoding of
Sinhala to have been motivated by evil intentions:

"However, this is threatened by the unscrupulous implementation of
Unicode Sinhala code page specification closing door to objective
criticism. A nearly decade long intransigence seems to be the
willingness among the technocracy in the country to value personal
wellbeing over obtaining a successful solution for digitizing Singhala."
