Old Italic
Info · Characters
The Old Italic Unicode block contains characters from several related scripts used in Italy prior to the rise of the Roman Empire, providing evidence for the diverse linguistic landscape of ancient Italy.
Old Italic is a Unicode block containing a unified repertoire of several Old Italic scripts used in various parts of Italy starting about 700 BCE, including the Etruscan alphabet and others that were derived from it (or cognate with it). All those languages went extinct by about the 1st century BCE; except Latin, which however evolved its own Latin alphabet that is covered by other Unicode blocks.
