Old Permic Unicode Characters page 1

The Old Permic block contains characters used in the Old Permic script, also known as Abur, which was created in the 14th century by the Russian missionary Stepan Khrap (also known as Saint Stephen of Perm) to write the Komi language spoken in the Perm region of Russia. The script is alphabetic, and this block includes all the characters needed to write in Old Permic. The script played a crucial role in the Christianization of the Komi people and is a significant part of the region’s cultural heritage. Old Permic is one of the few examples of a script created specifically for a Uralic language..
