Burmese Font embed problem
Burmese scripts descend from Indian Brahmi scripts. The Burmese vowel e is used to modify the consonant and is placed in front of the consonant. In the Unicode charts, Myanmar (Burmese) fonts are shown from 1000 to 109F.

The problem is in the vowel e uni1031 and the dependent consonant sign 103C which is also typed after the consonant but appears in front of consonant.

All these appear correctly in Word but misplaced when converted to epub. I have checked this in Sigil as well as in ADE and calibre.

The attached two screenshots screenshot(2) and screenshot(3), screenshot(2) shows the correct fonts displayed in Word and the screenshot(3) displays the epub version in calibre. In the calibre version, the 6th word the vowel e is misplaced after the consonant not before (shown with red outline). What is frustrating is the first word and the third also incorporates the vowel e but are placed correctly before the consonant.

In the second line of screenshot3, the fifth and seventh word shows the consonant sign 103C(shown outlined in red) in the wrong position after the consonant.

I have tried many ways, different css and modified in Sigil but could not get the desired output.

Please help me with this problem.
