Subject: Lao Script

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

At the moment UNDP and UNV are doing ICT assessment in Lao PDR.

 

One of the issues we are looking at is standardization. In particular, we are interested in Lao Script.  Could you please provide us with following information?

 

(1) Which organization requested Lao Script to be included in UNICODE?

(2) When this organization requested Lao Script to be included in UNICODE?

(3) When Lao Script was included in UNICODE?

 

I understand that Lao character assignment in UNICODE was based on ISO standard for Lao Code Page. If it is true, could you also provide us with following information?

 

(1) What is its ISO number?

(2) When Lao Code Page became part of ISO standard?

(3) Which organization requested this standard to be included in ISO?

(4) When this organization requested this standard to be included in ISO?

 

Thank you for your ongoing co-operation and understanding.

 

Regards,

 

B. Chansavat
