About the chart
Includes all the characters in the Unicode 5.1 Myanmar block. Note: There are important changes to the Myanmar block in version 5.1 that will require changes to all existing Unicode text currently in Myanmar. Seven new characters have been added to the picker to accomodate this. Unicode 5.1 has not yet been released, although the code points used should not change. If you use these code points previously existing Unicode fonts for Myanmar will no longer work with text produced by the picker. There is one new font that I know of that will work, called Myanmar2, by the Myanmar Unicode & NLP Research Center. You will need to use this font, or other new ones, to correctly display the output of the picker.
The default shows all characters as images due to the rarity of Myanmar fonts. Consonants are mostly in a typical articulatory arrangement, vowels are aligned with vowel signs, and digits are in keypad order. Hinting is implemented for visually similar glyphs.
