GUNJALA GONDI LETTER MA is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

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

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

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 Gunjala Gondi block. The Gunjala Gondi script, recently revived from historical sources, is used by a small indigenous community in India, particularly in Telangana. Gondi is a Dravidian language spoken by the Gond people, one of the largest tribal groups in India. Gunjala Gondi refers to one of the scripts used to write this language. It was largely forgotten over time, but with the discovery of old manuscripts and inscriptions, efforts to revive the script have gained momentum. The Gunjala Gondi block in Unicode supports this revival by providing digital tools for the script’s use in education, communication, and cultural preservation. This is part of a broader movement to protect endangered languages and scripts from extinction, especially in the digital age, where many minority scripts are at risk of disappearing..
