Gothic Unicode Characters page 1

The Gothic block contains characters used in the Gothic script, which was developed in the 4th century CE by the Visigothic bishop Ulfilas (Wulfila) to translate the Bible into the Gothic language. The Gothic script is an alphabetic system, and this block includes all the letters needed to write the Gothic language. The script is primarily known from manuscripts and fragments of the Bible translation. The Gothic script is significant for its role in the early history of the Germanic languages and the spread of Christianity among the Gothic tribes..
