ScriptSource is a dynamic, collaborative reference to the writing systems of the world, with detailed information on scripts, characters, languages - and the remaining needs for supporting them in the computing realm. It can be a valuable tool for writing systems research, but can also be a collection point for writing system documentation and hub for writing system communities. Major software companies and developers rely on ScriptSource as a reliable source for information.
