Script - Marchen
Marchen is a script used to write the Zhang-Zhung language, primarily in historical religious texts of the Tibetan Bon tradition. Within the Unicode standard, it encodes letters that are visually similar to Tibetan but with distinctive glyph forms, such as curved vowel signs and unique consonant shapes. The script is classified as a historical or ancient script, with its characters supporting a left-to-right direction and a syllabic structure akin to Indic-derived systems. Its Unicode block contains a limited set of letters and diacritical marks, sufficient for scholarly transcription and liturgical use, but it lacks modern digital expansion. The assigned script value ensures correct rendering, sorting, and text processing for this minority writing system.
