Our Story
The Eastern Pwo Karen Unicode Team was established in 2025 following the decision by major platforms, such as Facebook, to discontinue automatic Zawgyi-to-Unicode conversion. This change is a significant benefit for us, as it allows our language to be read correctly on Facebook. Moving forward, we are continuing to expand the presence of our language across all digital platforms.
We are a non-profit, volunteer-led group dedicated to ensuring that Eastern Pwo Karen remains accessible and standardized. By building the essential digital infrastructure our language needs, we are ensuring it can thrive across all devices and platforms, both now and in the future.
We are a grassroots group of volunteers who are entirely self-funded. Without any outside financial support or sponsorship, we dedicate ourselves to this work driven purely by our devotion to our heritage and literature.
