OK, this is a glyph matter of course.

I can add a tick to the 2 if you like, and I can make the 8 and 9 narrower.

The ordering which we give is a "unified" ordering for the Myanmar 
script in general -- it is not a language-specific ordering. I 
assumed that MYANMAR GA and MYANMAR SHAN GA would sort near each 
other. Do you have a dictionary or other word list which shows these 
characters actually sorted? Or a list explaining the alphabetical 
order?
