Myanmar Character Focus Terminal

A desktop terminal that renders Myanmar (Burmese) text correctly — something stock terminals and stock xterm.js get wrong because they split a Burmese grapheme cluster (base + medials + asat + vowel signs) across separate cells, so the font can never shape it.

Myanso is a normal PTY terminal — tabs, split panes, multiple windows, search, clickable links — built on Electron + xterm.js 6. Its one special trick is getting Myanmar shaping and column alignment right across the shell, full ‑screen TUIs (vim), and AI CLIs (Claude Code, Codex CLI, agy).

Goal: correct Myanmar text over perfect monospace alignment. Where the two conflict, Myanso favors readable text.
