Dear List,
I would like to ask about extended/tailored grapheme clusters
implementation. In Burmese, our smallest unit of grapheme cluster is
syllable level. I found some expression in UAX #29,
Grapheme clusters can be tailored to meet further requirements. Such
> tailoring is permitted, but the possible rules are outside of the scope of

Are there any tailoring in any software. Can we implement with
Rendering/Shaping Engine or any other software?
Myanmar Syllable can be formed by Consonant/Independent Vowel + [Medial] +
[Vowel] + [(Cons) (Asat)] + [Tone] + {[Virama] + [Consonant] + [Medial] +
[Vowel]}
[...] is optional.

looking forward your feedback.
Best
Ngwe Tun
