Hanifi Rohingya Unicode Characters page 1

The Hanifi Rohingya script was developed in the 1980s as a modern script for writing the Rohingya language, which is spoken by the Rohingya people, an ethnic group primarily found in Myanmar and Bangladesh. Historically, Rohingya was written using a variety of scripts, including the Arabic and Latin alphabets, but there was no standardized system. The Hanifi Rohingya script was created to fill this gap and provide the Rohingya people with a unified writing system that could be used for education, literature, and communication. Its inclusion in Unicode is vital for the Rohingya community, particularly as many of them live in refugee camps or diaspora communities where the preservation of their language and culture is crucial. By enabling digital representation of the Hanifi Rohingya script, Unicode helps support language revitalization efforts and the production of educational materials for the Rohingya people..
