Kayah Li alphabet
Kayah Li script was devised by Htae Bu Phae in March 1962, in part in response to the appearance of Latin-based orthographies which had appeared after 1950.It is taught in schools in refugee camps in Thailand.Unlike the Myanmar script, the Kayah Li script is an alphabet proper as the consonant letters do not have any subsequent vowel.The diacritics can also be used in combination with the letter for ô to represent sounds occurring in loanwords.Kayah Li was added to the Unicode Standard in April, 2008 with the release of version 5.1.
