February 2019, a question regarding the fonts was posted. (figure VI) This is an example of how different participations in the market are slowly making a change, and how it is looked upon. One local user describes it as enforcement implying that Unicode is not something positive, but rather something forced, while the second local user uses the words language improvement. These two users can be said to represent the division amongst local users in Myanmar. The issue of choosing a font is more than just a technical one. As we have seen, it is related directly to communication practices, access to information, and participation in a global society. Serval people, alongside my informants, see an urgent need to make a change and to continue the effort of making Unicode the standardized font, also in Myanmar. With everything that comes with the fonts, the choice is not that hard to make. As Liao writes: “Knowing that choosing the right encoding [font] is, in fact, choosing who has access to the digital world and the opportunities offered there should provide the motivation” (Liao, 2017, p. 24). Considering how the problem has developed and transformed into a social issue as well as a technical one, there does not seems to be an obvious solution at the moment. As seen in figure VI, there are fragments of change, but it is not defined at which level this change is activated. If it is the infrastructural ways Facebook functions, a social phenomenon or from the government is uncertain, and it is an exciting field to continue to research in the time to come. This chapter has aimed at answering how Facebook gained its position in Yangon and how Facebook can keep this position, what happens in the society and how it affects my informants through a perspective of the battle of the fonts. Following, I explore the same questions through a perspective of emotions and affect. 63
