The Soyombo block contains characters used in the Soyombo script, which was created in the late 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar. The script was designed for writing Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit, and was used primarily for Buddhist texts and inscriptions. The Soyombo script is an abugida, with each consonant carrying an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. This block includes all the characters needed to write in Soyombo, reflecting its significance in the religious and cultural heritage of Mongolia..
