natural to have what looked correct for them on the top, which was Unicode, as seen on my computer. None of us thought that our computers or smartphones were any different from the other locals, at the time we, the foreigners, were unaware of the font issue. Our local group members did not, in the beginning, recognize the fonts as part of the problem either. As soon as we changed the order to Zawgyi – English – Unicode, after the local member´s suggestion, we had almost only local participants. This was the exact opposite outcome from earlier posts when we mostly had foreigners responding. The response to this seemingly small change, could not be a pure coincidence. After some more research in this field, I am now able to explain how this could be the case. First and foremost, starting with English, you attract foreign people, since they use English as their first language abroad. It is common that Burmese people do not speak or read English, so that is one obvious obstacle. To start the post with Unicode then has almost the same effect as with English since most people use Zawgyi, which means that Unicode is as foreign as English to look at. It is merely tough to understand the characters since the fonts decode them differently, as shown in figure III and IV. To start with Zawgyi, then, is the best option if your goal is to reach out to local users since it is the font that most people can read and communicate through. It could be that simple, once you are aware of this issue. This explanation is not, however, sustainable to continue the use of Zawgyi. Zawgyi is a more complicated font to write with and entails restrictions considering optional characters and languages. Unicode has a rendering system that is capable of working on an international level and allows the use of the different languages in Myanmar (Liao, 2017). From understanding the technical challenges, in this case, it is essential to recognize that there are several layers to this issue and that it cannot only be explained through the technical rendering of the fonts. Explaining the Taste of a Poem As explained earlier, Unicode is seen by people working with or have an interest in technology as the better option between the two. It is an international standard that most devices have pre-installed, and you do not need to download and change anything. It supports variations of languages, and it is compatible with Internet platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter and operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Linux as well as smaller devices as mobile phones. With Zawgyi, either you or the company producing the devices/software/platforms need to take some action to use Zawgyi. Why then, when Unicode is allegedly better, have not the change been made? Why do people continue to use Zawgyi? I 55
