TANGSA LETTER IQ is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of TANGSA LETTER IQ 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 Tangsa block. The Tangsa script is used by the Tangsa people, a tribal community living in northeastern India and parts of Myanmar. The script was developed in the early 21st century to provide the Tangsa language with its own writing system, replacing the Roman alphabet that had previously been used. Tangsa itself is a highly diverse language, with multiple dialects that can be quite different from each other, so the creation of this script was an important cultural unifier. The Tangsa script’s inclusion in Unicode is crucial for the development of written materials, textbooks, and literature in the language. This helps ensure the language’s survival as younger generations increasingly move towards dominant languages like English or Hindi. Having the Tangsa script in Unicode also opens the door for its use in digital media, which is essential in today’s world for keeping minority languages alive..
