http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2164186.stm I assume that Microsoft
will be using Unicode for the "around 4,500 Dzongkha letters, characters
and religious symbols" which "are based on characters drawn by Bhutanese
calligraphy artists and monks. The final collection includes the drilbu,
dorji and norbu characters which are widely used and important religious
symbols. With this new system, all kinds of religious texts and scripts
can now be computerised, including the Bhutanese book of annual astrological
predictions, the datho."
