The final proposal for Unicode encoding of the script was submitted by two cuneiform scholars working with an experienced Unicode proposal writer in June 2004. [4] The base character inventory is derived from the list of Ur III signs compiled by the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative of UCLA based on the inventories of Miguel Civil, Rykle Borger (2003), and Robert Englund.
Encoding formats of ကြော့ in Zawgyi (top) and Unicode (bottom). In normal Unicode rendering, the codepoint sequence on the top renders as ေၾကာ့ instead. The Burmese script is a complex text layout script, whereby the positions and shapes of its graphemes vary based on context.

Unicode text is processed and stored as binary data using one of several encodings, which define how to translate the standard's abstracted codes for characters into sequences of bytes. The Unicode Standard itself defines three encodings: UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32, though several others exist.
Later versions of Unicode extended this set to all uppercase and lowercase Latin letters and a variety of other symbols, among the "Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols". [ 19 ] In professionally typeset books, publishers and authors have gradually adopted blackboard bold, and its use is now commonplace, [ 14 ] but some still use ordinary bold ...
The Unicode Consortium and the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2/WG 2 jointly collaborate on the list of the characters in the Universal Coded Character Set.The Universal Coded Character Set, most commonly called the Universal Character Set (abbr. UCS, official designation: ISO/IEC 10646), is an international standard to map characters, discrete symbols used in natural language, mathematics, music, and other ...
Unicode expressly recommends that these characters not be used in general text as a substitute for presentational markup; [3] the letters are specifically designed to be semantically different from each other. Unicode does not include a set of normal serif letters in the set.
