All of its characters belong to the Kharoshthi script.

By general category: 37 other letters (Lo), 13 non-spacing marks (Mn), 9 other numbers (No), 9 other punctuation (Po).

The first 65 arrived in Unicode 4.1 (2005); later additions came in 11.0 (3).

Most letters here are written right to left. See bidirectional text.
