Buhid Unicode Characters page 1

The Buhid block includes characters for the Buhid script, which is used by the Mangyan people in the Philippines, particularly on the island of Mindoro. The Buhid script is an abugida, where each consonant is written with an inherent vowel that can be modified by adding vowel signs. This block contains characters for all the basic consonants and vowels, as well as a few punctuation marks. The Buhid script, along with other indigenous scripts in the Philippines, is part of the country’s cultural heritage and is still used in some traditional contexts..
