Script - Mayan hieroglyphs
Unicode Version 18.0
Mayan hieroglyphs is a script encoded in Unicode, with the property value assigning each character to the ancient Mesoamerican writing system used by the Maya civilization. This value covers over a thousand logograms and syllabic signs, representing the full corpus of known inscriptions from Classic period monuments, codices, and ceramics. It ensures that digital text can preserve the distinct identity of these glyphs, separate from other scripts like Latin or Egyptian hieroglyphs, and it supports scholarly research, linguistic analysis, and cultural heritage documentation by providing a standardized, unambiguous identifier for every surviving character shape, including complex compound signs and variant forms.
