MM — Myanmar

Myanmar (Burma) is a Southeast Asian country bordered by India, Bangladesh, China, Laos, and Thailand. Naypyidaw is the capital (built as a planned city in 2005), though Yangon remains the largest city and commercial center. The Myanmar Kyat (MMK) is the currency. For developers, the MM country code (formerly BU for Burma before 1989) maps to the my-MM locale for Burmese, which uses Myanmar script (Unicode U+1000–U+109F). The .mm domain and +95 calling code serve Myanmar. Myanmar script requires complex text rendering with stacking and reordering rules. The country code change from BU to MM means legacy databases may use the old code. Myanmar uses a unique traditional numbering system and calendar alongside international conventions. International sanctions related to Myanmar's political situation require compliance checks on MM country codes in some applications. Myanmar's mobile-first internet adoption (skipping the desktop era) means mobile optimization is essential for reaching Myanmar users.
