Script - Thaana

Thaana is a script used primarily for writing the Dhivehi language, the official language of the Maldives, and also for the Maldivian Arabic dialect. Its Unicode value assigns a distinct category to its characters, which include letters, diacritics, and punctuation marks, enabling digital text processing, rendering, and sorting. The script is notable for its right‑to‑left direction and its unique origin, with consonants derived from Arabic and numerals, while vowels are indicated by diacritical marks placed above or below consonants. This value ensures that Thaana characters are correctly recognized and handled in software, preserving the linguistic and cultural identity of the Maldives in electronic communication.
