Summary:
Using input method tamil-itrans, there is no easy way to input character
#xbb4.
I am a native speaker of this language and this particular character is
a commonly used character in the language. Absence of a convenient way
to input this character is definitely an annoyance and a bug.
I am attached a unicode map for tamil with this bug report, if that is
of any help.
M-x set-language-environment RET tamil RET
M-x set-input-method RET tamil-trans RET
M-x quail-help RET
I see no character combinations by which I can insert the character 0BB4
(Tamil Letter LLLA)
If I do
M-x ucs-insert RET TAMIL LETTER LLLA RET
I can insert the intended character without any problems.
C-u C-x = on the above "non inputtable" character shows me this. In
particular I see no "to input" entry.

On the other hand if I do a C-u C-x = on an inputtable character say
0B95 (TAMIL LETTER KA) I see a "to input" advice displayed. So I am
pretty convinced that there really is no straighforward manner by which
I can insert character LLLA and it's variants.
