The Lepcha range was introduced with version 5.1.0 of the Unicode Standard, and is located in Plane 0, the Basic Multilingual Plane.

Lepcha is a complex, Brahmic script that is used in Sikkim and West Bengal for the Lepcha language. It was devised around 1720 C.E. in Sikkim, and is derived from Tibetan.

The characters that appear in the “Character” columns of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

There are no Unicode fonts designed specifically for Lepcha.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or WunderMoosen’s FontChecker.
