Burmese Unicode support needed for Minecraft

The Burmese (Myanmar) language does not display or function properly in Minecraft's in-game chat or elsewhere. Due to the game's rendering engine lacking support for Burmese script, which relies on ligature-based writing, proper implementation is necessary for accurate typing and display.

An example issue: "ဖြင့်" can only be typed and rendered as disconnected characters (ဖ ြ င ် ့), which breaks linguistic readability.

Although a translation group is prepared to localize Minecraft into Burmese via Crowdin, progress is stalled until the game supports proper script rendering. Adding full Burmese Unicode support would not only enable translation but also enhance accessibility for Burmese-speaking players worldwide.
