Old Uyghur Unicode Script

The Old Uyghur script is an ancient writing system used by the Uyghur people in Central Asia. Originating in the 8th century, it evolved from the Sogdian script, which was itself derived from the Aramaic script. Old Uyghur was employed primarily for writing in the Old Uyghur language, a Turkic language spoken in the region. This script was used for various administrative and literary purposes, including religious texts. It eventually fell out of use, supplanted by the Arabic script with the spread of Islam. Today, the Old Uyghur script is of historical and scholarly interest, providing insights into the linguistic and cultural history of the Uyghur people.
