The Bhaiksuki block contains characters used in the Bhaiksuki script, which was used for writing Sanskrit and other languages in the eastern regions of India, particularly in the context of Buddhist texts. The script is an abugida, with each consonant carrying an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The Bhaiksuki script was used primarily for religious manuscripts and inscriptions, and it reflects the cultural and religious exchanges in the region during the first millennium CE. This block includes all the characters needed to write in Bhaiksuki..
