The Armenian block includes characters used for writing the Armenian language, which has its own unique script developed in the early 5th century by Saint Mesrop Mashtots. The Armenian script is an alphabetic writing system with 38 letters, including several unique ligatures. This block supports the full range of Armenian letters used in both classical and modern Armenian, along with punctuation marks and the Armenian eternity symbol. The script is still in use today, and it plays a vital role in the cultural identity and literary traditions of the Armenian people..
