If you want to read the above text written in Burmese,you browser must be configured to Unicode standard and have a same partial-compliant Unicode Burmese font file I used to build this web page in your computer i.e MyMyanmar.ttf font.This is an easy step.
Get MyMyanmar font from HERE
Direct downloads:
Partial-compliant MyMyanmar font (getting close to fully-compliant according to their website)
Though not required, it is wise to have a free best browser Latest Firefox browser for Windows vers 1.5.0.1
After downloads:
1) Install (place) MyMyanmar font file in the Windows/font folder.
2) If necessary,install Firefox Browser and open it.

    a) Then change the setting in your browser Firefox
    b) Go to tabs - Tools/Options/Contents/Fonts & Colors -Advanced/
      Character Encoding-choose Unicode-8 from the drop-down menu for Default Character Encoding and click OK

3) Finally refresh or reload this page and you should see like this

4) Please see the Burmese language-environment desktop with email,folder,text file all named with Burmese characters and opened up for demo(Note:charcters in title and task bars).Operating System is Windows XP- svc pk 2

၅.Candid comments:

Burmese characters in this web page are from partial-compliant Myanmar Unicode font- MyMyanmar.ttf.
Unicode font developers in Burma are facing hardships to follow fully to the standards of Unicode in placing some characters.So at present placing those characters in allocated and unallocated blocks of Unicode standards to suit their functional conveniences.Thus they are getting back to the old days of Burmese characters placing on Latin keys based on ASCII encoding-methods.They don't claim their fonts comply fully to the Unicode standards nor their ones are partial-compliants, (some even endeavor to fool that their Unicode work is complete).They just claim - Myanmar Unicode fonts.

Some pseudos are : Myazedi, MyMyanmar,Mandalay,Uniburma ,BIT,ponya-Web,Myanmar1 n II,and many more ......
So users must have a same partial-compliant font to view the web page built with that font.In other word- if the web page is built with MyaZedi and the user has only MyMyanmar font , it doesn't display correctly.When users start putting those partial-compliant fonts
in their computers, if more than one, Windows picks up the one it likes and probably end-up displaying wrongly.That is your computer
becomes a BIG messed-up for Burmese language ONLY.Also it affects badly to the truly,fully-compliant Myanmar Unicode font(s) if
you happen to have in your computer.

Thus,my strong recommendation is to have a Padauk Graphite Unicode font in your computer.It is so far the only one font that comply truly,fully to the Unicode standards: developed by SIL ,and it works perfectly in Windows and Linux OSs.And it is FREE.
Don't be tempted to use partial-compliant,pseudo ones.If unavoidable,install it for a short period only (install/uninstall is easy - open font folder and go thru file tab).
Hopefully,in a very near future,Unicode font developers in Burma accomplish fully and truly-compliant ones and Giant Billy start contemplating of integrating into his OS.
That's what Unicode Consortium and all Burmese wants.

Above are for the Webmasters,websurfers and users(especially in Burma) to pay heed.

Quite sad, even the Microsoft's next-release Windows Vista OS don't support Myanmar Unicode font.

Well,it is an opportune time to DUMP Windows for GOOD and EMBRACE Linux Operating System.Linux OS supports Myanmar
language and Myanmar Unicode font works beautifully.
If you have any hesitation,try highly popular Knoppix(Linux) Live-CD full OS that runs from your CD_ROM/DVD-ROM and not touching your main hard-drive at all.It works totally on your RAM.
There are so many distros of Linux since the whole OS is customisable by anyone to their needs.
It is recommended to try Ubuntu Linux for general use and for children Kibuntu or for educational purposes Edubuntu ( a platform for schools). You can even place a request for full-fledged CDs to be shipped to your address for FREE.
