Just a heads-up for an ongoing personal experiment that may end up with me
coming back here to ask dumb questions!

I am in the process of teaching myself to read and write Thai, and at some point
I am going to want to start processing Thai text on my Mac. When that fateful
day comes, I expect I will be running headlong into a lot of questions that Unicode
has answers for, not necessarily good answers, and I will be trying to make them
work through C++.

I expect I will come with a lot of learner questions that will highlight usage that may
(or may not) inform some of the papers this group is writing, if only by providing
examples.

I do not plan to write papers myself, but if I ask odd enough questions you might point
out when I stumble into one that is worth writing up.

I will try to keep the dumb questions out, and focus only on trying to represent my
newfound knowledge through Unicode and C++.
