Zou Script and Numerals Keyboard Help

Thank you for installing the Zou Script and Numerals keyboard. This digital tool marks a significant milestone in the preservation and promotion of the Zou community's Tibeto-Burman heritage.

Since the script is not encoded in Unicode, the codepoints in this keyboard are using Private Use Area Unicode codepoints. When, and if, the script is encoded in the Unicode, those codepoints will change.
