Script - Proto-Elamite

Proto-Elamite is a writing system used in ancient Iran around 3100 to 2900 BCE, predating linear Elamite and possibly linked to the later Elamite script. In computer text encoding, the character property “Proto-Elamite” identifies a set of specific characters assigned to represent this undeciphered script, which includes numerals and syllabic signs. These characters are encoded for scholarly and archival purposes, allowing digital preservation and analysis of inscriptions from sites like Susa. The property covers a distinct block of code points, enabling software to render or process these signs differently from other scripts.
