Character encoding
Burmese characters can be represented in Unicode or Zawgyi. Zawgyi is a variation on Unicode which interprets some code points differently but otherwise encodes code points with standard encodings such as UTF-8. If Zawgyi text is interpreted as Unicode, some characters will appear garbled.
Burmese text data from across the web is a mixture of Burmese Unicode and Burmese Zawgyi encoding. This can lead to fragmentation of some of the vocabulary unless the data is first normalized.
