Tai Tham

U+1A20 – U+1AAF   (6688–6832)

The Tai Tham range was introduced with version 5.2.0 of the Unicode Standard, and is located in Plane 0, the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The Tai Tham script (also known as Lanna, Tham and Yuan) dates back to the 12th century and is still in use in parts of China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand for the Northern Thai (Kam Mu’ang), Tai Lü and Khün languages.

Firefox 3.6 can display these characters.

The characters that appear in the “Character” columns of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode fonts Chiangsaen Alif, Lanna Alif and Lanna Unicode UI.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or WunderMoosen’s FontChecker.

If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1A20.pdf.
