Gondi writing

In 1918, Munshi Mangal Singh Masaram, a Gond from Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh, designed a script for Gondi based on Brahmi characters found in other descendant Indian scripts. However, this script is not widely used, even though a few publications have been made available by his followers and supporters. Unicode Masaram Gondi script was added to the Unicode Standard in June, 2017 with the release of version 10.0. The Unicode block for Masaram Gondi is U+11D00–U+11D5F: == Gunjala Gondi Lipi ==

This script is the subject of ongoing linguistic and historical research. Discovered manuscripts have been dated up to 1750, and discuss information from as early as the 6th–7th centuries. Much of the information reveals independence initiatives by the Gond Rajas and encounters with the British. Also, the names of the days of the week, the months, the Gond festivals have been discovered in this Gondi script. Unicode Gunjala Gondi lipi was added to the Unicode Standard in June, 2018 with the release of version 11.0. The Unicode block for Gunjala Gondi is U+11D60–U+11DAF: ==References==
