The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right.

This character belongs to the Kawi block. Kawi is an ancient Brahmic script used across parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in Java and Bali, to write Old Javanese and Sanskrit. Its usage spanned several centuries and had a profound influence on the scripts that followed, including modern-day Javanese and Balinese scripts. Kawi is found in inscriptions, religious texts, and literary works, serving as a crucial link to understanding the cultural and linguistic history of pre-colonial Indonesia and surrounding regions. By including Kawi in Unicode, scholars can digitally transcribe ancient manuscripts, allowing for better preservation, research, and dissemination of Southeast Asian history. This block supports efforts to revive interest in the script, as many young Indonesians are now looking to reconnect with their heritage through the study of ancient scripts..
