Script - Hanunoo

Hanunoo is an indigenous script of the Philippines, used primarily for writing the Hanunóo language on the island of Mindoro. In text processing, this script value identifies characters that belong to the traditional syllabic writing system, which includes distinct glyphs for consonants and vowels, as well as diacritical marks like the pamudpod and virama. Because of this designation, software can correctly render the script’s complex ligatures and reordering rules, ensuring that Hanunoo text displays with its characteristic angular, incised style. The value also helps distinguish Hanunoo from other Philippine scripts, such as Tagalog or Buhid, allowing for accurate font selection, search, and linguistic analysis.
