Fakkham script

During summer 2018, I also create another ancient script used in Lanna which is called "Fakkham script". I name it "Somphoa" following the name of a peacock flower in Lanna langauge. The script can be integrated seamlessly with Thai unicode block (and keyboard) like a common Thai font. The ligature can be activated by the character 'phinthu' or 0E3A.

Fakkham script is the script used alongside with tai tham script in ancient Lanna. The script itself is based on Sukhothai version of Thai script. Thus, we can say that Fakkahm script is a Lanna version of Thai script. Whilst being so similar to modern Thai script, spelling system of Fakkham script preserves lots of ancient feature of Thai script.
