Writing of Thai characters

[solbjerg]

Hi

I wondered how many could write this character

มื่

Using this character Mo Ma Alt+3617 / Hex E21

and this Sara Uee Alt+3639 / Hex E37

and this Mai Ek Alt+3656 / Hex E48

 

It is a Thai character, but I have heard that some cannot see the Mai Ek in the third position, and wondered what OS - if it was Windows or Mac computers they had and what regional settings was activated (if Thai was activated).

Thanks for any response

Cheers

p.s. You may have to use Word to test it - I haven't yet checked that :-?

p.p.s. Using the alternative input method described in another post it is possible to write the characters even in Notepad.

Hi

In Thai the tone signs are very important, they can totally change the meaning of a word.

We have it to a small extent in all languages, that the tone/inflexion can convey a meaning too, but it is much more important in Thai.

Angsana New does show the signs, so does Arial Unicode and Microsoft Sans Serif and Tahoma, but Bitstream Cyberbit loses the Mai Ek and in Code 2000 Mai Ek becomes attached to Sara Uee so that one cannot decide if it is there 100%.

Perhaps the Mac computers are more susceptible to showing fonts in another way than Windows are, for example if they do not automatically expand the space between the lines.

Does anyone know?
