Pali Burmese script chart

Dear All,

Does anyone have or know of a chart (in digital format) that fits on one
page and shows all the Pali letters in the Burmese script side by side with
their Romanized equivlents? This would include the 87 conjunct consonants,
numerals, and vowel-consonant combinations. One finds a similar chart in
each volume of J. Kashyap's Devanagari script edition of the Tipitaka. I do
have a chart for the Burmese characters but it is all worn out, falling
apart, and badly needing a replacement. If none can be found, I'll try to
make a new one in unicode.

In addition, I'd like to report that Florent has finished sending me all the
jpg page images of the Niruttisāramañjusāṭīkā from Burma. This is a 17th
cent. commentary on Mmd. It is a large work with the text itself running to
592 pages. I have started the daunting task of transliterating the pages
into romanized Pali. The chart is wanted for a list member who is assisting
in the work.

Best wishes,
Jim
