Issue

1. Open http://languagetools-153419.appspot.com/ccp/
   2. Select font "Noto Sans Chakma"
   3. Type some characters using the virtual keyboard.
   4. Type characters at "/", shift-Z and shift-";".
   5. Touch "Code Points" to see the unicode values for each
   6. Note that the last 3 are shown as "tofu".

Note that the font "RigengUni 2018-02-21" does include these 3 characters. Download this font at http://languagetools-153419.appspot.com/ccp/downloads/

The fact that these are missing in Noto Sans Chakma can be seen with any font viewing too such as FontForge.

These characters are not in Unicode yet. They have been accepted, but are not included in any release. They will be added to Noto Chakma after they appear in Unicode (11.0 probably), but nobody can say exactly when that will be.

Luckily, it appears that we already have glyphs (not in the released version). So, we just have to add back them to the released version.

@marekjez86 and @waksmonskiMT : It'd be great if you could sort this out. Thanks a lot !

@sven-oly : can you point us the list of new characters added to Unicode 11 with the above 3 Chakma characters?

@punchcutter : according to @sven-oly , they will be IN Unicode 11 (due this summer). That being the case, they should be added to Noto Sans Chakma.

[jungshik]

@sven-oly http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/ does not list Chakma characters. Is it outdated? Again, please, give us a pointer to the definitive list of new characters in Unicode 11 that does include Chakma characters.

[jungshik]

I found. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-11.0/ and http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-11.0/U110-11100.pdf clearly show that they're in for Unicode 11.0 (due June 2018).

So, they should be added.

[punchcutter]

As far as I know the current Noto spec is for Unicode 9.0 which is why these characters were not included in the original delivery. I don't even know about Unicode 10.0 much less 11.0. I would love to add these characters sooner rather than later, but that's something for @marekjez86 and others to decide.

[jungshik]

If you don't have glyphs for them and have to draw them, that'd be a different story. If you already have glyphs for them, there is absolutely no reason to hold them off from the release. (I already talked to @marekjez86 off-line).

[punchcutter]

Sounds great to me.

[punchcutter]

This is all addressed in the latest source delivery: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-source/tree/master/src/NotoSansChakma Once fonts have been generated in noto-fonts this can be confirmed and closed.

[punchcutter]

These characters have been in for quite a while now so this can be closed.

[sven-oly]

Is there a publicly available .ttf version of the updated font, including these 3 new characters?

The TTF on here has the latest: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/blob/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/ttf/NotoSansChakma/NotoSansChakma-Regular.ttf
