Myanmar Unicode - Correction

I messed up. Coz I didn’t do my homework and talked. 

Now I learnt that "Myanmar1" is the only font which complies with Unicode standard. 

Actually, myanmar1 font renders the mendials (ya-pint, ya-yit) with the combination of a-thet, ္, and ya ( ယ and ရ ) respectively. က+ ္+ရ = က္ရ . And subscripts also do the same thing. a-thet,  ္, and letter itself.
For “Mandalay”, မ+န+ ္ +တ+ ေလး = မန္တလေး. This is the linguistic approach for mendials and subscripts. For normal   ္‌ they add zero width non-joiner (200C)
no no, I’m not saying that u gotta type like that. Truetype Open font will automatically do it for you. .

“ေ” does a beautiful trick here. It is arranged to be typed after consonant coz Unicode standard states that vowels are stored after the consonant. But I think, it is also useful for line braking. For word processing, Myanmar do not have space between words for line brakes. First method is to regard as a break before consonant. Now ya-yit and “ေ” come after consonant not like before. Looks like it is solved. But there are more to consider. Read this pdf file for detail.
