Unicode character block From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

Mongolian is a Unicode block containing characters for dialects of Mongolian, Manchu, and Sibe languages. It is traditionally written in vertical lines Top-Down, right across the page, although the Unicode code charts cite the characters rotated to horizontal orientation as this is the orientation of glyphs in a font that supports layout in vertical orientation.

Variations and vowel separation

The Mongolian Unicode block contains its own variation selectors (listed as format controls) for use with the traditional Mongolian alphabet:[5]

  • U+180B Mongolian free variation selector one (FVS1)
  • U+180C Mongolian free variation selector two (FVS2)
  • U+180D Mongolian free variation selector three (FVS3)
  • U+180F Mongolian free variation selector four (FVS4)

Additional variations may be also available for traditional Mongolian script characters according to the context of the character, or by using a zero-width joiner (ZWJ, U+200D) and/or a zero width non-joiner (ZWNJ, U+200C) to select the specific form. The block also contains a format control named "Mongolian vowel separator" (MVS, U+180E).
