Warang Citi

Warang Citi (also written Varang Kshiti or Barang Kshiti; Ho: 𑢹𑣗𑣁𑣜𑣊 𑣏𑣂𑣕𑣂‎,[1] IPA: /wɐrɐŋ ʧɪt̪ɪ/) is a writing system invented by Lako Bodra for the Ho language spoken in East India.

Community leader Bodra invented it as an alternative to the writing systems devised by Christian missionaries.

He claims that the alphabet was invented in the 13th century by Deowan Turi, and that it was rediscovered in a shamanistic vision and Bodra modernized.

Warang Citi is quite distinct from other writing systems of India, and it has features of an abugida and an alphabet.

Warang Citi was added to the Unicode Standard in June 2014 with the release of version 7.0.
