Unicode Block - Gurmukhi
Gurmukhi is the script used to write the Punjabi language, particularly in the Indian state of Punjab, and it holds sacred significance as the primary script for the Sikh scriptures, including the Guru Granth Sahib. The characters in this set include vowels, consonants, and various diacritical marks that represent the phonetic sounds of Punjabi, along with symbols for punctuation, numerals, and specialized signs like the honorific or the additive mark. Its design is notably distinctive, with a horizontal top line connecting many letters in words, similar to Devanagari, yet it features unique glyphs and a rounded, open form that sets it apart visually and functionally. This script is actively used in modern digital contexts, including social media and publishing, and it supports both the Eastern and Western dialects of Punjabi through its comprehensive character inventory.
