Unicode Block - Caucasian Albanian

Caucasian Albanian is a historical script used to write the now extinct Caucasian Albanian language, which was spoken in the region of ancient Albania in the eastern Caucasus, corresponding roughly to modern-day Azerbaijan and parts of Dagestan. The characters in this block are derived from inscriptions dating from the 5th to 7th centuries CE, and they represent a unique alphabetic system that is distinct from both Armenian and Georgian scripts, though it shares some structural similarities with them. The script was largely forgotten until its decipherment in the 20th century, and the encoded characters now enable digital representation of these ancient texts, facilitating scholarly research into the language, liturgy, and culture of the Caucasian Albanians.
