Syriac

U+0700 – U+074F   (1792–1871)

The Syriac range was introduced with version 3.0 of the Unicode Standard. Syriac is the right-to-left script that is used for the Syriac language, which belongs to the Semitic group and is mostly confined to liturgical use in Christian churches in the Middle East and in south-east India, although there are also some native speakers in the Middle East. It is also sometimes used for printing modern and classical Aramaic. You can see some Unicode Syriac on Abed Dawod’s test pageand on The Lord's Prayer page.

Microsoft Windows incorporates support for Syriac Unicode from Windows XP onwards.

A Syriac Unicode keyboard layout for Mac OS X 10.2 can be downloaded from Aramaic Keyboards for Mac OS X; it has been produced by Steve Caruso.
