Script - Leke

Leke is a value used to classify a set of characters that originate from the Leke script, a historical writing system from the Himalayan region, primarily associated with the Limbu people of eastern Nepal. This script, also known as Sirijanga, was developed in the 18th century but fell out of common use before being revived in the 20th century. In character encoding, a character assigned the Leke value signifies that its primary usage and historical origin tie it to this specific script, helping software distinguish it from other writing systems for rendering, sorting, and text processing. The value covers both consonants and vowels, as well as digits and punctuation marks unique to Leke, ensuring that these characters are handled consistently with their intended orthographic rules.
