Issue

Position left Dot in Sgaw Karen language is still not correct.
According from this forum, the error is fixed.
However, when I test on Word .docx (MS-2016), it still wrong position at right side.

Important Note

For Unicode Number, 1037 = ့
We use dot(1037) right side in Myanmar language .
Also for Karen used same dot(1037) should be at left side.
Therefore, I assume we can't use same 1037 Unicode number both for Myanmar and Karen languages on Noto Sans Myanmar fonts .

Options:

  1. Can we add another Unicode number for Karen left side dot in Noto Sans Myanmar font?
    (I don't have enough experience procedure for Global Unicode standard method)
  2. Can we make another Google font name for Karen Sgaw language?
