Hello all,
Im implementing a new feature that support unicode characters
for printer drivers in UI. I have been going through some of the
documents in this regard.

2) In which of the languages are these characters used?
3) Which of the

I was refreshing my memory about Maya numerals: http://www.michielb.nl/maya/math.html
and started thinking how would one do these in Unicode, given the funny stacking.
NOTE: the following is most definitely an encoding suggestion/request for

This is because Arial Unicode MS does not have any of the OpenType
information that would be necessary for the shaping in the Tibetan script. I
do not know of any fonts that currently have this information, but I assume
it is only a matter of time before there are some.

The individual characters cluster groups much as Egyptian does,
