Although S'gaw Karen characters are included in the Myanmar Unicode range, commonly-used Burmese fonts and keyboards do not fully support the additional characters (U+1061, U+1062, U+1063, and U+1064) that are used in S'gaw Karen but not used in standard Burmese. Some fonts, like Zawgyi, actually overwrite these codepoints with extra glyphs from standard Burmese.
Fonts : On this page, we use Padauk, a Unicode-compliant font from SIL that supports all Myanmar languages. If you copy and paste your text into another program, please make sure you are using Padauk there also, or another Unicode font with support for Sgaw Karen characters.
For users of Firefox, this site also displays Padauk's language-specific glyphs for S'gaw Karen. Graphite must be enabled for this to work. For other browsers, this site uses the standard Burmese forms. To see if it's working in your browser, compare these two forms below. If they look different, then congrats, you're using Graphite!
