- Since Meeting #50, feedback of significant discontent have been heard from the user
community in China concerning the name Lanna. According to Chinese Dai experts, the name Lanna denotes the region which is part of Thailand. This does not represent the user community in China. It is therefore inappropriate to call the script Lanna. After several
rounds of discussion, we proposed to call the script TAI THAM.
