Script - Warang Citi
Warang Citi is an alphabetic script invented in the late 20th century by Lako Bodra for the Ho language, spoken primarily in eastern India. Its Unicode encoding covers 84 characters, including 64 letters, digits, and a few punctuation marks, designed to represent the distinctive phonetics of Ho, such as its retroflex and nasalized sounds. The script’s characters feature angular, geometric forms with some rounded strokes, and its case is unicameral, meaning it has no separate uppercase or lowercase forms. Warang Citi is used in educational materials, religious texts, and community publications among the Ho people, serving as a cultural symbol and a practical tool for literacy. Its inclusion in digital typography enables the preservation and modern use of this indigenous writing system.
