CHORASMIAN LETTER NUN is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of CHORASMIAN LETTER NUN is Right-to-Left (Strong). It belongs to the strong right-to-left characters..

The Right-to-Left (R) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from right to left. This class includes most alphabetic characters from scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Thaana. The R characters determine the directionality of text segments and are crucial in the processing of bidirectional text.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Chorasmian block. The Chorasmian script is an ancient writing system used by the Chorasmian people, an Iranian-speaking group who lived in the region of Chorasmia (modern-day Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan). The script was used from the 2nd century BCE until the 8th century CE, primarily for writing the Chorasmian language, which was closely related to other Iranian languages like Sogdian and Bactrian. Chorasmian texts include legal documents, religious inscriptions, and other administrative records. The inclusion of the Chorasmian script in Unicode is significant for scholars studying the history of Central Asia, as it provides a way to digitally encode and analyze Chorasmian documents. This aids in the preservation of a script that is key to understanding the cultural and linguistic history of the region, particularly in relation to the interactions between the Iranian world and the surrounding civilizations, including the Greeks, Scythians, and early Islamic empires..
