Lepcha Unicode Characters page 1

The Lepcha block contains characters used in the Lepcha script, which is used for writing the Lepcha language spoken in the northeastern region of India, particularly in Sikkim and West Bengal. The script is an abugida, where each consonant is written with an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The Lepcha script was created in the 18th century by King Phyagdor Namgyal of Sikkim and has been used primarily for religious texts, poetry, and folklore. This block includes all the necessary characters for writing in Lepcha, reflecting the script’s cultural and religious significance..
