Ol Chiki

U+1C50 – U+1C7F   (7040–7295)

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

Ol Chiki is a simple, alphabetic script that was devised in the first half of the 20th century for writing the Santali language, which is used mainly in India and to a limited extent in Bangladesh and Nepal.

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.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode font Code2000.

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.

If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1C50.pdf.
