The Dogri script is a writing system originally used for writing the Dogri language in Jammu and Kashmir in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent.[1]
History
The revival of the Dogra Akkhar script was supported by the order of Maharaja Ranbir Singh of Jammu and Kashmir.[2] It is a modified version of the old Dogra Akkhar script, which in turn was a Jammu variant of the Takri script.
Efforts of revival
Signboards in New Dogra Akkhar were erected at Jammu Tawi railway station.[3] However, the script is functionally extinct, with Devanagari being used to write Dogri now.
Unicode
Name Dogra Akkhar was added as a Unicode block to the Unicode Standard in June, 2018 (version 11.0).[4]
The Unicode block is named Dogra, at U+11800–U+1184F, and contains 60 characters:
