A talk by Bivuti Suz Moriz

I would like to talk to you about my Chakma script handwriting to digitization, and how it advanced to become digital, revived from being endangered, connected with social media, messaging platform, and YouTube. Since I was born, I have found that my script has been very neglected. If the script is lost then we will disappear one day. This script needs to be protected. To protect my script I made it digital, starting with creating a font. The font name is "RibengUni". It now works well s in modern technology, on computers, internet and smartphones. Then I had to create a Chakma keyboard layout. It was upgraded with the help of the Keyman team. This keyboard name is "Easy Chakma Keyboard" and it supports iPhone and iPad, Linux, macOS, Android, Windows, mobile web, web. In May 2018, Facebook added our Chakma script. Google's Gboard app added my keyboard layout on Android in September 2019. We added a virtual keyboard, Chakma Converter, and some resources for Chakma script. I have published my activities in a book.
