GlotScript Tool

Detect the script (writing system) of text based on ISO 15924.

Special codes

  • Zinh code is the Unicode script property value of characters that may be used with multiple scripts, and that inherit their script from a preceding base character. In some cases, we opted to integrate parts of the Zinh code (e.g. ARABIC FATHATAN..ARABIC HAMZA BELOW, ARABIC LETTER SUPERSCRIPT ALEF) into a different block.
  • Zyyy code is the Unicode script for "Common" characters.
  • Zzzz code is for Unicode script for "uncoded" script.
