Unicode Block - Syloti Nagri

Syloti Nagri is a writing system historically used for the Sylheti language, primarily spoken in the Sylhet region of northeastern Bangladesh and neighboring parts of India, though it has largely been replaced by the Bengali script in modern usage. This script features distinct vowel and consonant signs, including a notable use of independent vowel letters and a unique set of conjunct forms, and it also incorporates a punctuation sign for abbreviation. The characters in this range encode the core letters, vowel marks, and digits necessary for representing Sylheti phonology, with a particular emphasis on preserving the orthographic traditions of early printed texts and manuscripts from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
