I believe you are c= orrect. I don't know Lao, but knowing Hindi and Gujarati, those Lao cha= racters seem similar to the vowel overlays used in Hindi, Gujarati and othe= r Indic languages.

Example:=C2=A0=E0=AA=95=C2=A0+= =C2=A0=E0=AA=82 should be rendered combined as=C2=A0=E0=AA=95=E0=AA=82, =E0= =AA=95 + =E0=AB=80 =3D =E0=AA=95=E0=AB=80, and so on.
