Seven Additional Burmese Characters
On 2006-03-07, there is a working group proposed to add new seven characters to UCS. The following is the proposed document.

Major documents:
n3043.pdf

While favour to rendering, the complex work and difficulty of implementing font, i would agree this proposal as a UniMM-UniBurma project. Especially, ASAT(killer) and Tall AA. Using U+1039(as killer, 4.1) as a toggle is totally pain because it could happen to occur frequently in every Burmese writing. This effected a lot on font implementation. ASAT should have its codepoint as it does have its potential on writing regardless of rendering. There are another six cases and all would be helped on implementing Burmese font and the way of proper rendering, not only to computing(programming, rendering) but also for linguistical accept(grammar, the way we have taught). Current stable version 4.1 is perfect for less codepoint and rendering but UniMM couldn't go far yet! Implementing State Machine and Opentype Table is totally mess.. Though not documented on this proposal, i would support this proposal as among one of the Myanmar font implementors.
