Myanmar Keyboard Layout for Unicode 5.1
This keyboard
provides a smart keyboard layout for typing Myanmar for use with fonts

click on the Keyman icon on the task bar and select the myWin2.2 Keyboard 
. To type again in English, click on the Keyman icon again and select “No Keyman Keyboard”.

Explanation
Old Myanmar fonts used to require several different variations
of some characters and other symbols. Most of these are no longer
necessary because the font itself chooses the correct shape variant.
This means there is no longer any need to use control or alt sequences.
Stacked characters ပါဌ်ဆင့်
Stacked characters
are typed by typing the normal forms followed by the ` key - which is
normally in the top left of your keyboard. eg:

| က |

Shapping of ျ ြ ွ ှ
You always type the same key for
each medial, it does not matter whether the consonant is wide or small
or what goes above and below. Composite medials are typed as a sequence
of the individual medials.
Note: the medial is always typed after the consonant, this is a change from before, when Yayit was typed before the consonant.
