Unicode Block - Sora Sompeng

Sora Sompeng is an indigenous script used to write the Sora language, spoken by the Sora people in eastern India, and it was created in 1936 by the tribal leader Mangei Gomango. The script is notable for its unique, non-borrowed letterforms, which were designed to represent the sounds of the Sora language, a Munda language, distinct from the neighboring Odia and Telugu scripts. It is a simple, left-to-right writing system with separate letters for vowels and consonants, and it includes a set of digits. Today, the script is used in education, religious texts, and community publications, helping to preserve Sora cultural identity and literacy among its speakers, though its usage remains limited compared to more widely adopted regional scripts.
