Myanmar (Unicode block)

Myanmar is a Unicode block containing characters for the Burmese, Mon, Shan, Palaung, and the Karen languages of Myanmar, as well as the Aiton and Phake languages of Northeast India.

The block has sixteen variation sequences defined for standardized variants.

[3] They use U+FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1 (VS01) to denote the dotted letters used for the Khamti, Aiton, and Phake languages.

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Myanmar block: In Unicode 1.0.0, part of the current Myanmar block was used for Tibetan.

[6] These use the same range as the Unicode Myanmar block (0x1000–0x109F), and are even applied to text encoded like UTF-8 (although Zawgyi text does not officially constitute UTF-8), despite only a subset of the code points being interpreted the same way.
