I trust these have been checked against Microsoft Word. I note that, amongst others, the characters of the Thai, New Tai Lue block, and the supplementary planes do not get categorised - if the final table Word table (dated 2012-03-21) be correct. However, it does seems startling that there are no characters that are 'complex script' in Word! I had been about to ask if certain assigned characters have undefined rendering, but it seems highly unlikely that that should be the case for Thai. (Of course, it may be that Thai characters always occur in Word WordprocessingML runs with the <w:cs/> property.) Richard.
