Note: Five characters were removed from the Lao block in version 1.0.1 during the process of unifying with ISO 10646.[1][2][3]

Lao is a Unicode block containing characters for the languages of Laos. The characters of the Lao block are allocated so as to be equivalent to the similarly positioned characters of the Thai block immediately preceding it.
