 Explanation Visible Myanmar Typed sequence

က u
Old Myanmar fonts used to require
ြက uj
several different variations of some
ြကိ ujd
characters and other symbols. Most
of these are no longer necessary ြုကိ ujdk
because the font itself chooses the ေ◌ a
correct shape variant. This means ေန ae
there is no longer any need to use
ေနွ aeG
control or alt sequences.
ေနွး aeG;
Stacked characters ပါဌ်ဆင့် ေ◌ a

ေခ
Stacked characters are typed by ac

typing the normal forms followed by ေချ acs

the ` key - which is normally in the ေချွ acsG
top left of your keyboard. eg: ေချွး acsG;

Shapping of ◌ျ ြ◌ ◌ွ ◌ှ
သခ oc
You always type the same key for သခင ocF
each medial, it does not matter
သခင ျ ocFs
whether the consonant is wide or
သချငိ ocFsd
small or what goes above and below.
Composite medials are typed as a သချုငိ ocFsdk
sequence of the individual medials. သချုင
ငိ ocFsdki

သချုင်
ငိ ocFsdkif
Note: the medial is always typed after
the consonant, this is a change from သချုင်
ငိ း ocFsdkif;

before, when Yayit was typed before  

the consonant.
