This character belongs to the Vithkuqi block. Vithkuqi is an alphabet developed in the early 19th century by Albanian intellectuals as part of a broader movement to create a standardized writing system for the Albanian language. It was created as an alternative to the various scripts that had been used historically, including Greek, Latin, and Arabic scripts, which were often associated with religious and regional divisions. Vithkuqi was intended to unify the Albanian-speaking population, but it never gained widespread use and was eventually replaced by the Latin alphabet. The inclusion of Vithkuqi in Unicode is important for scholars studying Albanian history and linguistics, as it allows them to digitally encode and analyze the few historical texts and inscriptions that were written in this script. This contributes to the broader effort of preserving Albania’s linguistic and cultural heritage..
