] Hi,

This is good image and easy to understand for non-thai people.
Just in case if it can be done more.
We should show the case of SaraAm as well because this case is always
easy to be confused.
SaraAm case for Thai is a little bit closer to Indic clustering.

] does it the same with Indic, Korean and Vietnamese ?
For Indic, I think "backspace" and "delete" should behave similar to Thai,
at least. The additional/different behavior is Indic has "Ra" and
"I" vowel which is put in front of consonance (but inputing is after
the consonance).

Another word, Indic will be super-set of Thai. Those cases where are not
in Thai, we need to figure out to make sure to have them in the right
behavior. That's why we have been having these discussion....

I've got to learn Korean/Vietnamese more to be able to say ..... :<
