   • Today around 90 percent of people use Zawgyi instead of Unicode. Incompatible without fiddly plug-ins, it only allows people to communicate in Burmese with other Zawgyi users, excluding the nation’s minority languages. Its clunkiness also means search functions do not work, crippling data storage systems. 2019 September 27, “Unicode in, Zawgyi out: Modernity finally catches up in Myanmar's digital world”, in The Japan Times, archived from the original on 22 Aug 2020:
2. The script in which the Burmese language is written.
